Catch of the day: A lobster-lavished sundress for summer

When we’re thinking of summer days spent scooping up seashells on the beach, we can’t imagine an outfit that will help little ladies keep their cool longer than this Cute Well-Dressed Kids’ frock.

The blue-and-white-striped cotton sundress is lavishly embroidered with lobsters, but the real shell-shocker is the large, red appliqué of the preppy crustacean on the back. Its front claws are securely clamped around the red-white-and-blue rope that forms the neckline.

But wait, there’s more: This dress looks as adorable coming as it does going with a front yoke that features a button placket embellished with dainty blue ruffles. And for that perfect, seaside family portrait, the company offers matching shorts for brothers ($36.50). Let the vacation packing commence!
