product showcase

tot trends weeklyCreator and owner of Poppylarity, Abigail Vargas, takes her love of vintage tablecloth fabric to design classic-looking clothing for little girls. Her dainty, feminine, and vibrant pieces are handcrafted using three decades of fabric from the 1940's through the 1970's. tot trends weekly
Abby feels that while many of us enjoy the look of tablecloth fabrics from those eras, we simply do not have the time to display them (with all the washing and ironing required). Her line offers a fun alternative for everyone to enjoy these prints of the past. Abby's inspiration stems from finding beautiful and unique fabrics. She loves working with vintage because of the quality of the material and the uniqueness of each piece.



tot trends weeklyWith Poppylarity's standard dress style being a simple sleeveless dress with empire waist and gathered skirt, children can wear alone or with a coordinating undershirt for cool spring and summer days. Along with their Classic Dress look, is a new Halter Dress style. This tablecloth dress ties at the neck and is made with an elastic in the back to stay in place on busy little girls. Best for last, we love their Skirted Pant set. This gorgeous set includes a suntop with ribbon ties at shoulders. Adorable bottoms ruffle at the hem.


Get your hands on your favorite outfit for spring and summer! Both Baby Go Retro and Buttercup's Boutique carry the Poppylarity line. Check out both stores for unique and different fabrics and be sure to get that one-of-a-kind vintage look you want for your little one...before they're gone!
