July 22nd Upload--- READY TO SHIP EVENT!!!

Tomorrow is the big day!  My very first RTS event.  I'm excited about what I hope is going to be a new phase of my business.  Over the last 9 months, Cotton Belle Boutique has grown by leaps and bounds.  I would love to tell you that whole story, but that's another blog post for another day.  Because of this growth and all the custom orders I've been doing lately, I've had to step back and take a look at my business and see how I can simplify my life a bit. As most of you know, I have two little ones at home and I am also a hairstylist.  Life is always busy, but next month it's going to get even more wild when I start homeschooling my oldest.  My solution is to attempt to move to ready to ship inventory to eliminate the stress of having deadlines with custom orders.   This will allow me to have more freedom to be creative and it will allow to you to get your items immediately!  :)  For now, there will still be a few items on my Etsy store, but this may phase out as time goes by.  Hang in there with me as I navigate through this transition and try to make it easier for everyone.  I hope this is going to be a great change for me and you!

Let's talk about tomorrow......

First up will be the Sweet Sparrow Milly Dress.....

This dress will be available in sizes 12-18 months, 2/3, 4/5, and 6/7.  This dress runs a tad small so if you child normally wears the larger size in the listing then I would buy up one size. For example, if your child normally wears a 3, I would order the 4/5. The fabric combinations in this dress are some of my favorites.  This dress will NOT be available again after the RTS items sell out so if you want one, get it now! :)   (Pattern by brownie-goose)


Next up is the Phoebe Dress....

This strip work dress is so darling and is the perfect dress to transition from summer to fall.  It can be worn as is for a cool summer dress, or layered with a pair of Chambray ruffle pants and a shirt when the weather starts to cool off. The back bodice has elastic so this dress can easily grow with your child.  This dress runs true to size.  Available in sizes 6-12m, 3, 4, and 5.  This dress will not be available to order again after the RTS sale, but it may make another appearance at the next RTS event in a different color combo.  (Pattern by CKC)


 This next one is from my favorite pattern designer (BG) and its one of my favorite patterns she's done.  Meet the Autumn Harvest dress......

The colors in this dress are perfect for fall.  My child has this dress in her closet and it's a favorite. This dress is darling paired with cowgirl boots and for the winter you can layer over some brown chambray pants to warm up those legs! Dresses fits true to size and is available in 18m, 2/3, 4/5, and 6/7.  I intended to have the ruffle pants to match each size, but due to a sick child this week, only the 18m and 2T are available in the RTS.  If you need the pants in the bigger size, don't despair.  They will be on my Etsy store soon for purchase.

Also with this dress we have a gorgeous necklace from Sugar Beads.  Melissa made this necklace specifically to match the Autumn Harvest dress, so be sure to order yours to make this outfit complete!  There will be a link directly to Sugar Bead's Etsy store tomorrow for you to purchase this necklace to match your dress.  It's a must-have, girls!!  Melissa will be making more custom "made-to-match" items for my future RTS events so stay tuned.  And in the meantime, like her page on FB so you can see all her cute stuff!  My girl wears her Sugar Beads every day. :)

 Lastly, is a staple item that your girl NEEDS in her closet this fall.  The Lolas!!

My girl loves her cow girl boots, but you can pair these cute bell bottoms with any top and cute shoes for a great fall look.  And look at these cute little pockets!

Gotta have?  Of course you do!  :)  I have sizes 2, 3, and 4 for the RTS sale but these will also be on Etsy soon if you don't find your size.


READY FOR TOMORROW????  I hope so!  Get ready to shop! RTS event will be live tomorrow at 12:00 EST on Facebook!
