Baby/Toddler: Caterpillar and Butterfly Dresses

Red Thread features wonderful designs for little girls aged 0-3 years.  All of our dresses feature rich vibrant colour and gorgeous prints, and they coordinate beautifully with our bright bamboo tops. All are lovely and practical natural/locally made gifts.

Our most popular design for this age group is our Caterpillar Dress. Named for its ability to transform from a baby dress on a one-year-old to a shorter dress on a two-year-old and then a swing top on a three (or sometimes four) year-old, it can often be worn for as long as three years! They look great alone, layered, with tights, shorts, or jeans. This is a fabulous wardrobe staple that will really stand the test of time, and it makes a very stylish and practical gift.

Red Thread celebrates a love of handmade

Red Thread was founded in Spring 2005 at the One of a Kind Show in Toronto. It began as a small children's clothing line and a few years later was sold in shops across North America.

In 2015 we launched two big projects due to popular demand: a line of clothing for women, and a fabric shop (at www.studiofabricshop.com).

Red Thread has always celebrated gorgeous quality fabrics and sumptuous colour. Crafted locally and ethically in Toronto, every single piece is comfortable, versatile, and carefully designed to be enjoyed for years.

We have some lovely new handmade products in the works, to launch in 2026, including supplies for your own creative projects, and new items for your home and travels. Please stay tuned!
