Birthdays are really special and exciting when you are little, so Imogen’s Wardrobe decided to design a unique birthday dress for the occasion.
When the dress was finished, we road tested it with Birthday tea for Daddy at Centotre on George Street in Edinburgh. Meringues with chocolate sauce was our chosen pudding and the birthday cake dress loved Centotre’s special Italian chocolate sauce too! Luckily it washed clean out on a gentle cycle and our little “I am 4 dress” is ready to wear at the next birthday party. This dress comes made to order with candles for 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 years.
©Imogen's Wardrobe handmade, organic velvet, designer birthday dress size 4-5 years £39.99 made to order. Also comes in sizes 1 up to 6 years (£34.99 for the baby sizes 1&2)
All of the designer dresses at Imogen’s Wardrobe come with their own unique story because the designs are inspired by family life and the fabrics are organic, sustainable and ethically sourced. There is a little nursery rhyme on the hang tag too, so that your little one can enjoy the story that comes with her dress design…
Pat a cake, pat a cake, bakers man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Pat it and prick it and mark it with a B,
and put it in the oven for baby and me.
©Imogen's Wardrobe Birthday Cake Dress. The cake is hand appliqued with organic and designer fabric, the candles are made from recycled bottle felt.
The girl’s designer birthday cake dress is made from 100% organic velvet, trimmed and partially lined with organic cotton plaid. The cake is made from sustainable organic hemp cord, iced with organic cotton and Cath Kidston designer fabric and the candle flames are 100% recycled bottle felt. A beautifully designed, guilt free birthday cake!
Imogen’s Wardrobe dresses are generously made to allow plenty of room for growth and they are all machine washable.
To order this dress you can leave a message on this blog, go to Imogen’s Wardrobe Facebook page or visit Imogen’s Wardrobe Etsy shop

We have a beautiful Dalmatian who lives on our street and quite often we see him looking out of the window, regal and serene. This design is an ode to all things doggie and spotty. A popular theme at East Rose Cottage, with bedtime tales of Bottomley Potts all covered in spots from Hairy Maclary and, of course, the classic 101 Dalmatians.
©Imogen's Wardrobe Handmade Organic Dalmatian Dress size 4-5 years £39.99.
The Dalmatian Dress is made from 100% organic cotton needle cord, trimmed with bamboo cotton spots, finished with a tiny red collar made from recycled bottle felt. All 100% machine washable, so you won’t need to worry about the little one playing with the dog in the garden in this dress. All designer children’s clothes at Imogen’s Wardrobe come with a little nursery story on the hang tag, the proud owner of this dress can sing along too…
How much is that doggie in the window? The one with the waggly tail.
How much is that doggie in the window? I do hope that doggie’s for sale.
I don’t want a bunny or a kitty, I don’t want a parrot that talks,
I don’t want a bowl of little fishies, you can’t take a fishie for a walk
How much is that doggie in the window? The one with the waggly tail.
How much is that doggie in the window? I do hope that doggie’s for sale.

This design was inspired by my daughter’s little wooden Matryoshka Russian dolls, the dolls get smaller as the dresses get smaller and the smallest size is a cute little 6-12m baby size. The one featured here is size 4-5 years, perfect for little Matryoshka fans to play in. Handmade from soft organic and fair trade needle cord and finished off with strawberry buttons, it is generously made to allow plenty of room for your little girl to grow.

Whilst getting the new designs ready for the very first Imogen’s Wardrobe Christmas market, I noticed the red pirate t-shirts hanging up around the studio were looking very festive. So I braved the weather in the Cottage garden to try and get some half decent photos of the Red Pirate Collection for you. Our favourite Imogen’s Wardrobe Pirate story is below and it will be included on the t-shirt labels at the market. (see the events page for details)
© Imogen's Wardrobe Little Girl Pirate t-shirt, ethically made and fairly traded, hand appliqued in Edinburgh and finished with a real coconut button. Size 4-6 years £25
The little boy pirates crept onto their ship, with a chest full of treasure and some rope for the trip. They heaved the mainsail until it was tight, moonlit blue silk, what a magnificent sight.
“Hoist the pirate flag”, ordered the Little Boy Captain, “There’s land up a head, be ready with those swords men.” So they landed on a treasure island and set about digging, on a beach full of coconut buttons which they used for the rigging.

Baby pirate label story…
The Little Boy Pirates crept onto their ship, with a chest full of treasure and a rope for the trip. They heaved up the mainsail until it was tight, moonlit blue silk, what a magnificent sight.
“Hoist the pirate flag”, ordered The Little Boy Captain. “There’s land up ahead, be ready with those swords men.” They landed on a treasure island and set about digging, on a beach full of coconut buttons, which they used for the rigging.
Ethically made and fairly traded 100% cotton baby pirate hat, one size £12.
Baby teapot label story…
I’m a little teapot short and stout, here’s my handle, here’s my spout. When I get all steamed up hear me shout, lift me up and pour me out. I’m a very special pot it’s true, let me show you what I can do, I can change my handle and my spout, just tip me over and pour me out.

There is much excitement at East Rose Cottage this week because the new organic ladybird dress design is finished. The dress was officially previewed last night, before bath time and during Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom (just to make it extra challenging). I’m pleased to say, it got whoops of delight. So with a good review, it has passed the test and is the lovely September blog post. There really is only one nursery story attached to this little dress…
Ladybird, ladybird fly away home, your house is on fire, your children are gone, all except one and that’s little Ann, for she crept under the frying pan.

The ladybird dress is handmade in from 100% organic and fairly traded cotton and is machine washable with a mild detergent, you can’t get more ladybird friendly if you tried! It comes with its very own ladybird nursery rhyme on the hand tag for your little one to enjoy and grown ups can buy this dress knowing it has an ethical background story.
If you would like to order one, you can leave a comment here, visit the Facebook page or Frooly and Etsy shops.

This month we are including all the organic and ethical designs that haven’t yet featured on the blog including daisies, teapots and pirates. What a brilliant combination for another little story to go with the clothes:
The Teapot Pirates landed on the shore, “Find treasure!” shouted the Captain, “and then find some more!”. For they were no ordinary pirates that swung from the rigging, they sailed in a teapot and liked diving and jigging. They wore bright hats of felt, that made them look a little crazy, and on the top of the brim was always a daisy. Fine bone china, is what they were seeking, to make a new ship, for the old one was leaking! ©Imogen’s Wardrobe

The little boy pirates sailed through the night, with a chest full of treasure, what a delight! They took some fine cotton from a furniture maker and made a pattern for a sail out of strong layout paper. They heaved the sail up until it was tight and searched for an island in the full moonlight.
“Hoist the pirate flag”, ordered the little boy captain, “there’s land up ahead, be ready with those swords men.” So they landed on the island and set about digging, on a beach of coconut buttons which they used for the rigging.
