Missie Moosie is owned and designed by Alana, mother of three. Alana began the business four years ago with her passion that started in the midst of designing and sewing outfits for her daughter right after giving birth. Alana’s philosophy is that children are “only young once” so she committed to the idea of dressing her children in one of a kind boutique style outfits which she created herself. This talent and passion soon became Missie Moosie. Alana takes great pride in her designs as she oversees all aspects of the business. All of the clothing is handmade in the United States and Missie Mossie also prides itself on amazing customer service. I reviewed the Flourish Allie Dress in Orange for my daughter. Here is a photo of the dress taken directly from the Missie Moosie site:

And here is a picture my daughter in size 18 months. Check out the back of this gorgeous dress:

The colors of this dress are so vibrant and what makes it so special is the coordinating sash. A matching headband can also be purchased with this design. My daughter actually wore this dress for Easter and everyone was talking about how beautiful she looked! The quality of craftsmanship of this piece is fantastic. It’s made of 100% cotton so it is so easy to wear, care for and I know my daughter is comfortable in it. I could easily pair this with leggings for her in the Fall when the weather gets cooler.

And the sash drapes perfectly around her waist and truly gives it that boutique inspired look. The adorable matching headband actually stayed on her head! I can’t tell you how many headbands I’ve tried before but this one has the material gathered at the bottom and it rests at her hair line which stays on beautifully, even for my very active 18 month-old. Here is another picture of my cutie pie in this dress. It was the best shot I could get of her because she never stands still:
