Have you ever stepped into a party and come face to face with another guest wearing the same outfit as you? Not nice, huh? That's why many parents out there never buy childrens clothing from department stores. Instead they go to boutique shops that sell items in limited quantities per style or size. Whenever I can, I try to patronize such shops, too. They often have one of a kind items of great quality, using fabrics and styles than can't be seen elsewhere. Often they are made of high quality fabrics, flawless stitching and support responsible manufacturing practices. And these are the reasons why their items come out a tad bit pricier compared to similar items you would get at some department stores. Plus, often, the designs are unique because they are made by budding designers.

I say "often" and "usually" because of course, there are boutique shops that charge, say, fifty bucks for a pretty run-of-the-mill romper, just because the store is located in a chic address. Those are the kind of shops I never step inside of!
