Baby Bee Crib Bedding by Brandee Danielle - A Product Review

Brandee Danielle, one of the most innovative crib bedding designers, is available through national chains, including JC Penny and Baby Depot, baby specialty stores, and online retailers. The Baby Bee bedding collection is a great choice for those interested in high quality gender neutral bedding in a Bee/Bug theme. Baby Bee is an extraordinary value at between $180 and $220 for a four-piece crib set, given the high quality fabrics and workmanship used in this collection.

The Baby Bee bedding collection is available as a four-piece crib set, which includes a quilt, 4-sided bumper, crib skirt, and fitted sheet. The collection is machine washable. There are coordinating accessories available within the collection, with an exception being wall border, an accessory commonly available with most crib bedding patterns. There are several pillows offered in the collection to accessorize the bedding.

The quilt is made from four fabrics: a woven black seersucker gingham to add light texture, a woven leaf green gingham, a woven cornflower yellow gingham, and a white sateen which features the bees after which the pattern is named. The most notable feature within the Baby Bee pattern is the superior quality fabrics used. The three patterned fabrics are all woven, meaning differently colored threads are woven together in order to create the pattern; this is far superior to fabrics with printed patterns as used by many competing brands at this price point . Set against the white sateen are hand sewn embroidered bees, featured on the quilt, bumper, pillow, and other accessories. The astounding aspect of the bees is the intricacy used to create each individual bee. The wings are made from a soft chenille fabric that adds a realistic look to the bee.

The back of the quilt and fitted sheet are both made from a soft brushed cotton fabric. The bumper is 10
