Fabric Flavours Little Miss and Mr Men Babygrows

When you have a baby, you get used to people stopping you in the street to say "awww he's so cute" ! However, it's been a while since someone has stopped me to say "awww his clothes are so cute" ! - but that's what happened when I took Pierre out in his funky Mr Men Babygrow this week !

If, like me, you're a child of the 70s/80s, you will absolutely love the whole range of funky retro-style baby/toddler babygrows and Tshirts from Fabric Flavours. They have the old style Mr Men characters, Dennis the Menace, the Cat in the Hat - all my old childhood favourites !

The colours are also fabulous - funky bright colours and surprising combinations that you don't often get in baby/toddler sizes : Ice Blue, Pistachio, Sunflower, Strawberry, Blueberry, Sweet Porridge, Blackberry, Tangerine, Coconut, Candyfloss, Custard and Banana. They sound good enough to eat and look really vibrant and eyecatching!

Pierre has been trying out the Mr Bump babygrow and as you can see from the photos, he loves it !



Unlike many brands, the bodysuit fits him perfectly - the arms are just the right length, the neck isn't too tight or too baggy, the legholes don't squeeze his chubby thighs ... ! The velvety flocked Mr Bump on the front is supersoft and Pierre keeps stroking it and smiling ! It's a really high quality garment and the finishes are brilliant - you can tell it will last in pristine condition for ages (give or take a few stains, probably !). I love the little hidden extra for parents - when you change baby's nappy, you discover a little secret message about Mr Bump having accidents that made me smile, despite the stinky nappy Pierre had lovingly prepared for me !

As they explain, "All the Fabric flavours t-shirts and babygrows are pre washed 100% cotton and embellished and finished with attention to detail, with effects such as multi coloured stitching, zig zag stitching, satin and velvet appliqués, flocking or funky embroidery and they have all been designed to reflect the characters personality." They go on to say that they "come in sizes from 0 to 9 years - so there's something delicious for every child !"

If you like funky, quirky, retro-style clothes, you really have to go and have a look. Don't forget your credit card - you'll want to buy the lot !!
