Rainbows represent hope and the promise of good things to come. Which is also what children represent. The Hope Romper is the perfect way to remind yourself of that when you look at your little one. Worked in fine yarn, it is comfortable and not bulky to wear. It also comes with an opening at the bottom to make diaper changes a breeze. It can be made into a dress or romper and there is a more girly version and a more plain one to choose from. Perfect for all the little ones in your life!
