Chase away the rain with this sweet dress. That is how Stephan Baby introduces it, and one look explains why: soft pastel rainbow stripes running top to bottom, a little embroidered heart on the chest and flutter sleeves that lift with every wiggle. The skirt is full enough to twirl in and the fit is easy enough to crawl in.

It snaps closed at the back, so dressing takes seconds, and it goes straight into the washing machine when the day is done. Pair it with bare feet in summer or a white cardigan and tights when the weather turns.

Birthday photos, a first Easter, a rainbow baby celebration or simply a Tuesday: it is the dress that makes the whole outfit. Gift it at the shower with a card that says the sunshine is on the way.
