where to buy classic Easter dress in NW DC?

[Anonymous]

I am looking to buy a classic, plain Easter dress for my 1-year-old in NW DC (don't have time to schelpp to the 'burbs before Easter). Any suggestions on where to buy? Everything seems to have tulle, ribbons, beading, etc. and I am really looking for something classic and plain. Thanks.

The "Carriage Boutique" line has dresses just as you described.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with possible shops in NW. I do know that Why Not? in Old Town Alexandria carries them. I hope you find something closer!

How much do you want to spend ? I know Nieman Marcus has something but...

I would 1st check Macy's downtown OR Lord and Taylor in Friendship Heights.

Zara at Metro Center might have something. You also still have time to order online.

Zara has baby clothes? i never knew!

Magic Wardrobe and Piccolo Piggies in Georgetown, Tree Top Kids (clothing store) in Wesley Heights all have cute simple smocked (and unsmocked) print dresses.

Tree Top Kids in Foxhall Square has beautiful, classic children's clothes.

These three are absolutely your best bet.

OP here. Thanks so much for all of these suggestions! I also didn't know Zara sells baby clothes. I've never been to the Tree Top Kids in Wesley Heights. Does it have a better clothing selection than the one at Chevy Chase Pavilion?

I'm the person who suggested it, along with Magic Wardrobe and Piccolo Piggies. I have to say that the selection was really sparse when I was there last time. I would recommend Magic Wardrobe first. I went by yesterday and they had gorgeous dresses - little traditional smocked solid dresses in spring colors, pretty Liberty of London spring prints - perfect for Easter.

It's on Wisconsin Avenue in G'town.

Tree Top in Chevy Chase Pavilion is primarily a toy store. In Foxhall (is this the same as Wesley Heights?) they have separate toy and clothing stores - the clothing part called Tree Top "Kids" instead of "Toys.". It is absolutely my first stop for holiday clothes.

OP here. A huge thank you for the recommendation of Magic Wardrobe. I had never heard of it and the dresses there were *exactly* what I was looking for. Couldn't afford shopping there on a regular basis, but it's the perfect place for a special occasion dress.

Check Ebay. I know it sounds strange, but I just got a gorgeous smocked dress for DD and paid $23 including shipping. I Googled the brand (Silly Goose) and it retails for $68. Oh, and I also got a brand new Kate Mack bathing suit for $14!
