Ringing in the Chinese New Year with mini cheongsams
When I stumbled across these cute kiddie-customised cheongsams from Little Valley, I knew they would be perfect for my friend, Joyce's daughters - Valarie and Saffron. The collection featured many colourful floral and graphic patterns which I had a hard time choosing, so after consulting their mama, I settled on "Kristy" for Valarie and "Sophia" for Saffron.

Claire, founder of Little Valley was helpful and considerate during the order and purchase process. Understanding they were for a pair of 6-year old and 4-year old sisters, she also verified their heights (130cm and 110cm respectively) to make sure they were a good fit. With a stroke of luck and good timing, the delivery (the 2 girls and their family live in Australia) arrived in time for Chinese New Year.
Valarie and Saffron were delighted with the cheongsams and as you can tell from the photos, they were a really good fit. The girls even did a few catwalks, courtesy of their mama, so I could get to see them in action.
