Merry Little Messes – Christmas Tie-Strap Dress
$70.00
A little Christmas magic and a whole lot of twirling!
For Christmas mornings, family get-togethers and little adventurers who have absolutely no intention of sitting still for more than one photo.
This sweet A-line Christmas dress features adjustable tie-up shoulder straps and a relaxed shape that's ready for twirling, playing and everything in between.
Choose between my Aussie Animals and Rubber Ducks Christmas prints to create a festive outfit full of personality.
Made from 100% cotton, 150 GSM quilting cotton, it's a lovely option for our warm Australian Christmas celebrations. And there's no need to save it just for Christmas Day! Pair it with sandals for summer adventures or layer it over a T-shirt for a different look.

Anna’s handmade overalls and matching hats are adorable, vibrant, and very well-crafted. The fabric is sturdy and high-quality, and the stitching is impeccable. We chose the bumblebee print and that hat is now my toddler’s favourite hat. Thank you Anna!

We recently received two pairs of Anna’s Adventure Overalls. We LOVE them. We are so impressed they can be customisable and made to order. The material is strong but moveable meaning our toddler can crawl and play while her and her clothing are protected! The attention to detail is unmatched and we will definitely buy more when she sizes up.

Anna managed to make all 5 orders in one week! Great job, custom made dresses were super cute. A lot of different patterns available and Anna even went out of her way to find extra fabric for my request. Can't wait to put my little one in all the overalls I ordered.
Quick replies too which is also a bonus for a small Brisbane business.
