"I love dressing up my girls. Its so much fun to see them in adorable little outfits. At my house, every day is a photo shoot. Especially with the baby. I am always dressing her up.

But at Perry Winkle Kids, I found adorable dresses that are are just as cozy as they are beautiful."

As featured in Making My American Dream:

"Graciela and Maria are a Canadian-based mother-daughter team who draw inspiration for their designs from their grand-daughters and daughters. Being moms themselves they understand and appreciate good quality clothing that is easy to care for. With that in mind they created most of their dresses and cardigans to be machine-washable. We had the opportunity to review the very beautiful Beatrice Viyella Smocked Dress... The floral print is the epitome of everything feminine and girly. The hand-smocking ... is so incredible and it has a unique hand-embroidery pattern in a pink and green combination...absolutely love it!".

As featured in Secret Life Of a WAHM:

Perry Winkles Kids make beautiful hand-smocked dresses. We received the Ursula smocked sundress. It is breathtaking. The quality is second to none! It is made of a gorgeous, super soft cotton in green with a fun plaid pattern and is completely lined. It has pearlized buttons in the back from the top to the bottom. We just love it!! The smocking detail is amazing!! I love the fact that I can dress this dress up or down. I can pair it with keds or sandals for a more casual look or with a pair of mary janes for a dressier look. Perry Winkles Kids is a Canadian-based mother and daughter team. They are both moms that appreciate good quality and easy to care for clothing. They only work with natural fibres (like 100% pima cotton) and they place a huge importance in bringing you a high-quality and unique product.

As featured in My Organized Chaos:

Started by a Canadian Mother and daughter team, PerryWinkles Kids features elegant smocked dresses. What's smocked? It's a decorative feature that is made by sewing fine pleats. The result is very stunning, and very feminine. This company is unique in that their items are hand smocked and hand embroidered, using pima cotton in Peru. This cotton material is a very soft and luxurious cotton, it has a subtle sheen to it. Yet, is perfect for kids' clothes because it can be easily machine or hand washed (depending on the item). (My Organized Chaos, www.myorganizedchaos.net, June 22, 2009).

As featured in A Couch With A View:

PerryWinkles Kids has quality, stylish, girly collections of smocked dresses and cardigans, as well as baptism and christening gowns, and more. The mother-daughter team of Graciela and Maria have one of the cutest collections around! Using awesome quality, 100% pima cotton and being machine washable at the same time is just the BEST!!

As featured in Glimpse:

"PerryWinkles Kids has the most adorable hand-smocked dresses for little girls - perfect for special occasions or even for just wearing around the house or to the shopping mall. :) Besides the fact that these dresses are absolutely precious, they're also made from natural fibres (such as incredibly soft pima cotton) and are 100% machine washable!! If you have a little girl, I'm sure you know how hard it is to find a beautiful dress for her that is cute, comfy AND easy to clean!". (Glimpse, www.glimpse-reviews.blogspot.com, April 30, 2009).

"Perry Winkles Kids is the joint effort of a Canadian mother-daughter design team. They make a wide variety of dresses to suit any occasion. Their new spring and summer line includes this great Smocked SOL Dress. I love the simple elegance of this look. It would be perfect for Easter, or any other big day. It is fancy enough for dressy occasions, but I can also see it being dressed down for a stroll through the park or a romp on the beach.". (Upscale Baby Blog, April 4, 2009).
