Customer Reviews
Lori********* PhD
Adorable design and super soft — no complaints there. BUT: the stitching around the collar unraveled after *one* gentle machine wash (cold, gentle cycle, mesh bag). Also, the ‘flower’ motif faded slightly. Sad, because it truly looked magical on her during our Easter brunch. Customer service offered a replacement, but shipping took 10 days. Heart = full, patience = slightly frayed.

My wife cried a little when she saw our daughter in this — not because it was sad, but because it was *that* tender, that perfect. Lightweight knit, zero static cling, and the flowers look hand-placed (they’re not, but wow). Arrived two days early, packed like a museum artifact. We’re already planning her ‘first day of preschool’ version in navy. If baby clothes could whisper poetry, this would be sonnet #1.
Nev******ery
Wore it to a baby yoga class — stretchy enough for tummy time rolls, breathable for all that wiggling, and the floral pattern stayed crisp even after sweat + drool + one accidental wipe with a burp cloth. Love that it layers so effortlessly over bodysuits. Delivery was prompt; box smelled faintly like lavender (?? delightful surprise). Just wish the ivory came in 0–3m — she outgrew it *fast* (but that’s not the top’s fault!).
Sus*******ecki
Used it for our ‘first picnic’ milestone — laid her on a blanket under cherry blossoms, and this top looked like it was *born* for that moment. No pilling, no stretching, just quiet elegance and serious snuggle factor. Bonus: the tag is sewn-in and *actually* non-irritating. Customer service replied to my sizing question in under an hour. Pure joy, wrapped in yarn.
Aria********sch
Love the look — delicate, vintage-meets-modern baby charm — and it’s ultra-soft on her sensitive skin. Fit is true, but the neckline gapes slightly when she lifts her arms (totally normal for knits, but worth noting). Arrived in 4 days, well-packaged. Would’ve been 5 stars if the ribbing held tension a *tiny* bit better.
Ms. H**********y III
Took this to our weekend farmers’ market stroll — lightweight enough for sunshine, structured enough to hold its shape while she squirmed in the carrier. That subtle flower motif? Chef’s kiss. And yes, I had to order another color (mint!) after seeing how well it layered under a denim vest. Shipping was shockingly fast — even included a handwritten note. Adorable *and* thoughtful.
Yas******ann
So cozy and breathable — perfect for those unpredictable 'is it spring yet?' days in Chicago. She wore it to story time at the library and got three compliments before circle time ended. Fabric is buttery-soft, though the sleeves run *just* shy of wrist-length on her (she’s average height for 9 months). Still, stellar quality and adorable fit.
Miss I************ng III
Bought it for my 6-month-old niece’s garden-themed birthday party. The floral detail popped under natural light, fabric didn’t itch or bunch, and she napped *in it* — high praise from a tiny critic. Package arrived in 3 days with zero fuss. Feels like hugging a dandelion puff: airy, sweet, and impossibly gentle.
Ann******es
Wore this Sifs Flower Top to my baby’s first spring photoshoot — soft as a cloud, bloomed beautifully against her floral onesie, and the knit held up like a dream! Shipped faster than my toddler’s nap schedule (which is saying something). 10/10 would knit again… if I knew how to knit.
