Yummy New Birthday Shirts, Birthday Outfits & Birthday Dresses
August 28, 2008 | New Designs | No Comments
We’ve done it again . . . if I say so myself! Some sweet and stylish birthday themed creations have been cooked up in the liliputians atelier (along with some batches of cupcakes since these designs gave me a sweet tooth!).
Icing Ruffles in Strawberry Pink and Brown (LOVE that color combo!) is a birthday outfit that is for the girly girl. The shirt is simple and sweet with the focus on the number appliqué. A swirly, curly number is fused and sewn onto a fitted style chocolate brown shirt. The matching skirt is a full, ruffled 3-tiered twirl skirt made entirely of the pink strawberries and icing print fabric. Yummy!
Cupcakes and Polka Dots is another pink and brown confection. This dropwaist dress is a nod to another one of our best selling birthday outfits, Cupcakes and Dots in Pink and Brown. The dress is simple and sweet yet has so many details with the contrasting brown lettuce edge ruffle sleeves, polka dot ribbon accent and birthday number and cupcakes appliqués.
And if your birthday girl is more of a super star glamorous type, perhaps the Birthday Star outfit is more her style. The hot pink shirt has a number appliqué made of star fabric complete with star cutouts. The matching skirt is made from colorful birthday themed patchwork fabric with a contrasting band of star fabric. Birthday themed ribbon completes it perfectly.
Matroyshka Nesting Dolls Fall Girls Outfit
August 20, 2008 | New Designs | No Comments
Russian folk art, or hand painted Matroyshka nesting dolls to be exact, are the latest inspiration of a new fall girls outfit for liliputians.
I recently moved and rediscovered my childhood set of nesting dolls in a trunk. After playing with them myself one more time, I gave them on to my 4-year old daughter for her to enjoy and hopefully some day pass on to her daughter. Finding those little works of art was the motivation to finally use some of the fabulous coordinating matroyshka doll fabric I’ve been hoarding for a year or two.
The Matroyshka Doll skirt set is a fun combination of fabrics, appliques, buttons and trims. It is composed of a whimsical shirt with three Matroyshka doll appliques and one tiny handpainted wooden Matroyshka doll button. Crochet flowers accent the sleeves at the wrists. The matching skirt is in a field of flowers print of pink on black with a contrasting hem of a wild allover Matroyshka doll print. On the front left is a Matroyshka doll applique complete with button flowers. Fancy crochet flower trim completes the skirt perfectly.
Acorns are for Squirrels! . . . A Fun New Fall Outfit for Girls
August 14, 2008 | New Designs | No Comments
Autumn will be here before you know it and all the better to greet the cooler weather in a fun little number from liliputians. This new design is all about whimsy with an acorn gathering squirrel appliqué on a pretty pink tee (check out the button eyes and harvest of acorn buttons!) Snazz it up with a matching super full twirl skirt in a velvety soft pinwale corduroy print of oak leaves and acorns on chocolate brown. Even the ribbon accents are super soft, velvet ribbon trim in chartreuse give added detail. This outdoorsy outfit is a real winner for your little two-legged acorn gatherer.

Back to School . . . With Little Red Riding Hood & the Big Bad Wolf!
August 7, 2008 | New Designs | No Comments
Back to school sets are back in the liliputians boutique. The first of our fun fall outfits have Little Red Riding Hood as their inspiration and theme. Just watch out for that pesky Big Bad Wolf!
The Little Red Riding Hood Skirt set has an appliqué shirt with Miss Red complete with tiny button eyes and red ruffles at the sleeves and waist of the chocolate tee. The matching denim skirt has so much detailing; a polka dot contrast hem, red and brown ric rac accents, big bad wolf and red riding ribbon, and an amazing little painted wood button of the wolf himself.
The Little Red Riding Hood Pants set has a polka dot peasant top complete with red riding hood and wolf ribbon trim and an unexpected denim front pocket. The matching pants have “the chase” with little Miss R giving her that furry brown guy quite a curving, red ric rac trail to follow. And don’t forget to top these two back to school, fall outfits with that perfect finishing touch; little red riding hood barrettes!
Two excellent little, custom, mix and match, boutique outfits to wear to visit Grandma (and school too!), don’t you think?
