Chocolatine Boutique: Bonjour Sailor!

From Coco Chanel to Brigitte Bardot, Madonna and Stella McCartney, the French sailor top has rocked the fashion world for decades. Also called "La Mariniere" in French, everyone in France has at least one in his/her closet. Little kids, boys and girls alike, are no different from their parents, and I have to admit that my own daughters have three each (should I mention I own five?...)

This summer, Chocolatine Boutique is launching the Brigitte Bardot Sailor Dress/Shirt for the very very trendy little girls.

Available in sizes from 2T to 6Y, it is perfect for the season as it is light weight and stretchy. Very St. Tropez, very Brigitte Bardot!!!

It is handmade by me with a beautiful and soft navy blue and white jersey cotton fabric. I purchased this nautical fabric in the South of France. The red Ibiscus flower in the front adds an exotic touch to the dress.

This is a very versatile item that can be worn as a dress but also as a long sleeve shirt or tunic. The sleeves can easily be rolled up or left long. Your little one will actually wear this for several years as it will grow with her.

The dress can be also be paired with leggings, pants, jeans, shorts or bloomers! You style it!
