Where to Buy Children's Traditional Heirloom Clothing
One of the fun parts of Heirloom portrait photography is getting to see all the lovely clothing my client's children come to the studio wearing. Some are purchased new and some have been handmade and handed down through the family. Each carefully selected outfit serves to enhance the timeless feel of the final images.
To help clients in their search for the perfect heirloom children's clothing, I am compiling a list of online and local retailers of children's traditional heirloom and smocked clothing.
If you would like to personally recommend a children's heirloom, traditional, or smocked clothing retailer please contact me and I'll be happy to consider them.

We dress children from newborn to size 14 for girls and from newborn to size 7 for boys. We also have one of the largest selections of hair accessories and sweet baby gifts in the Memphis area.
Spoiled Sweet Boutique opened in March of 2009 as a locally owned, independent baby & children’s clothing and gift boutique located in the Memphis suburb of Germantown, TN.
As the years have come and gone, our selection of both clothing and gifts has grown tremendously. In August of 2021, we moved to a temporary location while our forever home was being designed and finished. A year later, in August of 2022, we moved into our new home just around the corner from our original location.
Whether you're a local or just passing through, we hope you stop in and say hello! We would love to help you find the sweetest things for your little ones!

Strasburg Children
"We are honored to be a small part of your special occasions! Please let us know if we can help you find items for Flower girls, Ring bearers, First Communion, Baptisms, Christenings, Portraits or clothing for any special moments. We use the finest fabrics and add our signature touch in the details: fabric covered buttons, French seams, hems to grow with the child, hand smocking and more! "
Our collection’s roots are in the South, originally created in a fine Victorian home in Alabama. The details include heirloom quality – the finest 100% cotton or silk, French seams to assure softness against a child’s skin, smocking and embroidery completed by hand, buttons covered in fabric, dresses with long full skirts that are perfect for twirling, generous 2” hems so a favorite dress could be worn longer as a child grows. And the quality workmanship that kept that favorite dress in the family, being handed down among siblings and generations. Our collection has grown since those early days, but our commitment to heirloom quality will always be the first step we take with a new design.
