Classic-Style Clothing...Is there a need?
There seems to be a large need in our society to dress girls like young girls and not adults. Shopping for girls these days especially ages 7-14yrs. you mostly find trendy shirts, short, short dresses and skirts, tight jeans and dark colored clothing. It can be a challenge to find that simple, beautiful dress with a little collar, smocked bodice, and soft print that keeps your children looking like children. Our goal is to create a line of classic-style clothing using patterns and styles from the 30's-50's. All the dresses seem to be simple solid colors with accents of embroidery or a coordinating color.
Let me know your thoughts on this or feel free to show me styles that you would like to see your daughters in!
I especially love this dress below. The pattern seems to be sold out everywhere I have found it so if you know of one similar please let me know!
I love the old-fashioned designs - made in both contemporary & classic fabrics. Little girls should look like little girls, not minature versions of adults.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your venture.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteI had the same dilemma 20 years ago with my girls. I ended up making what I could. I might have some patterns buried somewhere that you could look at. Thank you for pursuing this. I might need some dresses for my granddaughters!!

I totally agree! I am currently sewing for my little granddaughter, and my patterns are mostly vintage. Little girls should look like little girls.
