How to Dress a Baby: Baby Muffin Top


Baby Flaw #2: Muffin Top

My Cookie’s contours mirror those of a baby penguin. Her waistline is 106% of her bust and 113% of her hips. Her dairy cache curves lusciously over the edge of her diaper in every direction. And when she stands in her bouncy chair and flaps her arms, there is no mistaking the resemblance to a certain aquatic, flightless fowl.

Her mini middle figure is delectable, but newborn mainstays do not flatter it. A onesie and baby sweatpants, secured by an elastic waistband around her butter bulge, make her look like she’s ready to check into a wee rest-home.

Her figure looks far sweeter in waist skimming, rather than belly clinging, silhouettes: empire waistlines, untucked tunic tops, a-line dresses…

If she is going to wear a snapper and lounge pants, you can bet it will be chaperoned by a jacket or sweater to clean up the spill over.

Ensembles which bring attention to her rolly, polly limbs are also a plus.

And the same rules apply in adult sizes, my middle figured mamas.

Baby Baldness: SprinklesOnTop Giveaway


Baby Flaw #1: Baldness

Babies are expert paraders of attractive features. Assets such as velvety smooth skin and milky fresh scent are used to acquire food on demand and persisting attention. However, even sublimely sweet bundles can benefit from personal styling.

The top of the list of Baby Lady’s Body Dressings do’s is actually the top of her fuzzy head. Even if dear baby’s head isn’t mishapen from long hours of lazing prone, dear baby does not yet have luscious locks to frame her delicate features and distinguish her from her male counterparts.


Hence a giveaway, from SprinklesOnTop, offering fetching felt adornments for cherub’s crown. The soft, stretchy base cradles nearly all sizes from newborn noggins to toddler top stories. Meaning it will grow with your child allowing you to get a decent cost per wear out of something in the early evolving closet. Unlike the headband I attempted to craft with my own simple hands, these headbands remain sound without any finding fall out or un-raveling strings. Each piece is a work of art, and Julie will even craft something special just for your bundle if you ask.

Win, for free, your own SprinklesOnTop headband, just follow protocol below:

Either: Go to SprinklesOnTop, inspect their petite pretties, and leave a comment on what you would select for your baby’s fringed coiffure.

And/Or: Follow Cardigan Empire on Blogger and leave a confirming comment on this post.

The winner of the SprinklesOnTop Giveaway will be selected on Friday, March 12th. The winner gets to select a SprinklesOnTop Headband of her choice.

In the meantime, if you want to receive a pretty little package posted from SprinklesOnTop, mention Cardigan Empire in the order notes, and get a free Samantha Bow with purchase.

Come back for detailed instructions on baby flaw #2 tomorrow.
