Babble Best: Sundresses

Pura Vida Sunshine Dress - $56

Planning to spend your summer at the beach? Pura Vida's sheer cotton dress promises to keep your girl cool on the steamiest August day. This dress, a whisper of pale peach fabric, has a lovely gathered bodice and the sweetest pink lace trim around the neckline. Adjustable spaghetti straps will keep your little bohemian comfortable. Sizes 2 to 6.

M.N. Bird & Co. Lulu Sundress - $47

Mixing and matching patterns comes naturally to the design team at M.N. Bird & Co. The Lulu high-waisted sundress is offered in a variety of combinations; we're impressed with their fresh approach to pairing dainty florals with bold checks. The result: a pretty, but not overly fussy, sundress. The empire waist bodice is a blend of cotton and spandex (to help keep the shape). Below the waist flows a cotton full skirt, perfect for twirling. Sizes 18 months to 4T.

Appaman Vespa Tank Dress - $39

If your daughter prefers motorcycles to fairy princesses (or if you just wish she did), this Vespa print tank dress will get her through sundress season. Appaman's combination of bold graphics and bright colors will appeal to urban girls who can't be bothered with ruffles and lace. Sizes 18 months to 5T.

Babystyle Strappy Dress - $22

Keep your daughter cool and comfortable in this delightfully simple cotton dress, perfect for a full day of outdoor play. Style mavens will relish this dress's small details, such as chest shirring, ruffled trim and stay-put criss-cross straps. Babystyle pre-washes their soft cotton dresses to ensure a good fit. This dress is available in pink and plum, but the price will make you wish you could buy a whole rainbow. Sizes newborn to 5T.
