The Monkey & Me

I am so impressed with the gorgeous hand-sewn clothes at The Monkey & Me, a business owned by talented mom Beth Allums (I first saw her clothing listed on Etsy.com). Beth makes each of these outfits herself, with a great eye for design, colors, and patterns. Here are two of my favorite ensembles from her site.

This Black and White Custom Monogrammed Twirl Set ($85) features a tee with handcut initial applique patch plus a comfy, elastic waist full twirl skirt. It's 100% cotton, machine washable, and available in a color combination of your choice.



I adore the royal blue print of this Retro Blue A-Line Dress ($65). The dress has a sweet, retro feel with a portrait collar, 3/4 sleeves, and zippered back for an easy fit. A little bit of red rick rack trim is the finishing touch. This dress is a definite conversation piece.

As usual, I fell in love with the dresses first, but Beth also makes some great ensembles for boys, and her signature sock-monkey onesies and tees make a charming baby gift. Peruse all the goodies at The Monkey & Me.
