Baby D'Vanty Brand Children's Clothing
Does anybody know the brand Baby D'Vanty? I bought a dress for my baby daughter at a consignment store here in Houston Texas. The dress is gorgeous, its 100% linen and its made in Colombia. Of course this doesn't mean this brand comes from Colombia, but I would love to find out more about this brand and their clothing line. Please if anybody has any information about this clothing brand I would really be grateful. I love this dress and my daughter is going to outgrow it any day now.
Tips for Saving Money on Socks as suggested by the ThriftyFun community. Buy one type of sock only. All the same color and brand and style. Enough for 2-3 weeks worth. If one goes missing or one wears out faster than the other it can be matched up later to the same type of sock.

Does anyone know where to buy comfortable sleeveless dresses for wearing around the house? Carol Wright sells some house dresses but they have the shirring around the chest and I don't like those kind, they're not comfortable.

Check Boating Or Sporting Goods Stores For Shoe Deals
Boating stores have great sales on boat shoes and other sporting shoes! My husband is addicted to Topsider sailing moccasins gotten on sale. They are sporty and sturdy, he gets them at 1/2 off and they last and last. He also just got a nice pair of leather sneakers for me for $9! So check out boating stores (and sporting goods stores like Big 5) for their sales and great deals on well-made casual shoes.
Frugal Tips When Shopping for Clothing

Looking For Affordable, Fashionable Children's Clothing
My 8 year old daughter recently started worrying about fashion. We have a store nearby called "Justice For Girls" and she loves clothing from "Limited Too". I love that she is into fashion because of course I was too. But Justice and Limited Too are very expensive. My daughter has always been very petite and extremely skinny so I love that Justice and Limited Too clothing fits her better than any other clothing stores we have tried.
Bring a Spool of Thread When Shopping
This tip is for any one wanting to match an item of clothing. Take a spool of thread in the color you are looking for when you go shopping. It's much easier than taking the item of clothing with you to the store. You can stick a spool of thread in your purse or pocket. It makes it a lot easier to shop.
