Rainbow Dreamer Coat

Rainbows and butterflies are more than just a trendy dream in the minds of little girls around the globe, they’re an expression of their creativity and imagination. As such, we should celebrate that childhood creativity by embracing our children’s passions with a stylish coat this winter. Silver and gold butterflies flutter around a brilliant rainbow on this dreamy dress coat for little girls by Little Goodall. Tailored from 100% Merino wool felt, the dimensional gilded butterflies are hand placed on the front, back, and sleeves of each coat. A cozy faux fur collar and epaulets ensure that this topper is a mix of all her favorite things! Two piece sleeves, a surprise pink center to the center back pleat, and side seam pockets accent the swingy A-line shape. Lined in a gorgeous rainbow butterfly print designed especially for us by artist and illustrator Matthew Langille, your little girl will feel like they just stepped out of their favorite dream this holiday.

Little Goodall has been creating beautifully crafted children’s clothing to inspire creativity and play since 2010 when artist and designer Molly Goodall† found herself† frustrated by her then two year old son who refused to wear the hoods on his coats. Searching for a creative solution, she designed and made the original Ferocious Felt Lion coat to inspire him to put his hood up in the cold.†
