First Impressions
kicokids' designer kids line isn't labeled "designer" because it has a tacky logo emblazoned across the chest and bum of every piece they make, but because each item is truly a designer piece. Their kids' fashions are age appropriate yet as fashionable as any designer line for adults. If you are looking for designer kids' clothes that treat kids with respect yet still let them be kids, then this is the line for you.
Most of Test Driver Maddie's wardrobe comes from mall and department stores. Her mom rarely buys designer kids' clothes, but for the right event, she'll splash out. Because Maddie lives in a small town, it's not always easy to find unique, high-quality kids' clothes, so her mom shops for Maddie's special outfits online.
Maddie's mom said that they were unfamiliar with the line, but now that they've had a chance to try it out, they are fans. She said, "There is nothing I dislike about this dress."
Style File
Maddie's mom said, "It is very stylish and different. I like the fact that the silhouette in the front it is a plain, but in the back, the tie around the neck is unique.
I think the dress is cute. This is going to be great for the winter. It's the kind of dress that can be casual or can dress up. It is very nice for school. Maddie says she loves it because it has pockets."
The Comfort Report
The dress that Maddie received was made from soft, cotton jersey. Did Maddie and her mom think the dress was comfortable for an active 3-year old princess?
Maddie's mom said, "The material is like a soft sweatshirt. Of course it is going to be comfortable!"
