Designer Dresses for the Toddler in Your Life
By Glinda
Guess who is introducing a luxury line of dresses for toddlers in the middle of a recession?
Oscar de la Renta, of course!
According to the article in W magazine, the dresses are in fabrics such as silk and crepe de chine, exactly the kinds of fabrics I want my three year old to wear!
Not that I think there is anything wrong with little girls having pretty dresses. Of course they should have pretty dresses. Just maybe not dresses that cost from $230 to $330. I know that there will always be a class of people who thinks nothing of buying a three hundred dollar dress for their child, it just seems weird when so many people are out of work to purchase something so expensive that will be worn for all of six months or so.
I also think that if I dressed my daughter in something that cost that much money, I would be following her around and perhaps even feeding her myself just to make sure she didn’t get a stain and ruin the dress.
Granted, the end of the piece states that Oscar will be donating $100 from every sale to the Children’s Defense Fund, which is definitely a worthy cause. But I would sort of rather people just donated on their own, you know?
Or, maybe I’m just jealous.

I won’t even spend that much on a dress for myself!

Oscar makes the sweetest cocktail dresses, but I’m at somewhat of a loss to imagine how transferable to children’s wear that skill is.

Perfect for the pageant racket…otherwise, pfft.
