The Proper Peony in Full Bloom

Flowers have long been associated with femininity. From ancient Greek myths to pressed-plant crafts to flower-themed dolls and toys, the image of the flower has held a special place in the lives of young women and little girls. It’s no surprise that floral prints and embellishments are so popular in feminine fashions. Whether a girl is 1 or 100, wearing flowers can make her feel brighter, prettier and more alive. The Proper Peony is a children’s wear designer that knows the power of flowers. The clothing in this line is geared toward kids who revel in the joy of dressing up in fancy, bright, colorful fashions.

Some pieces are embellished with hand-embroidered floral details, while others are designed to subtly mimic a particular flower in shape and color. Each piece has a fresh, distinctive look with some elements of vintage style, mixed with a more modern look. While the Proper Peony’s dress collection is suitable for dressy holidays and other events, its understated beauty gives it some flexibility. The absence of typical “occasion dress” enhancements like large bows, glitter, and tulle ensure that the styles look at home at picnics, playdates and mother-daughter luncheons.

The Proper Peony’s whole collection is a flower-lover’s dream, but there are a few standouts. The Willow Dress is a bright salmon pink creation that sports a ruffled neckline and a delicately embroidered row of blue flowers at the bottom. The Winter Rose dress is set to be a holiday classic. It features white-on-white floral embroidery, small ruffle details and lightly puffed sleeves. For parents of infant girls, “bubble” dresses are a great choice. They have a vintage look that will get plenty of “oohs” and “aahs” from friends and family. The Proper Peony also offers monogrammed dresses for a lovely and unique gift.

Sister team Page and Annie are the owners of the Proper Peony. The ladies built their business based on a belief that children’s clothing can be both comfortable and pretty. They feel that beautiful clothing doesn’t have to be saved for special occasions only; that it can be enjoyed on more casual occasions just for the sake of bringing joy and beauty to everyday life.
