When dressing up the baby, you're no longer limited to button-up shirts and frilly dresses. Even a casual day around the house can be replete with style. Girasole Designs, the company that's known for its character-driven stationery, has taken the concept of simple line drawings — with a sense of humor — and entered the clothing business with one breakout design.
This baby bodysuit is all about bold color and a storybook motif. The combed cotton fabric features the company's signature playful images, on the front, and echoes the theme on the sleeves and back. A cat and mouse sit on the yellow belly side, while cheese triangles grace the sleeves and flipside. A perfect bedtime onesie has a sleepy owl by a full moon, accompanied by a pattern of stars. To make them baby-friendly, there are no tags to bother little necks. To make them even more grown-up-friendly, they're machine washable — and dryable — with fade-proof colors. Think of it as onesie upmanship.
