Future Clothing Line for Girls?

I've decided that I have issues with little girls' clothes. Well, I decided I has an issue with them long ago, but I've recently discovered what the issue is. It's not the the pink and sparkles that bother me (although I could do without having to wade through all of that too), it's the content. Boys clothes tend to reflect their interests - planes, robots, dinosaurs, sports, trucks, etc. Girls clothes have flowers, princesses, butterflies. My girls have interests and their interests go well beyond ballerinas and princesses! Bijou loves robots and dinosaurs and airplanes and large farm equipment. Where are her clothes to display her interests. Ashni likes rocks and fossils. Where are her future geologist t-shirts? Well, I am taking a stance! I am going to make sure that my girls have clothes that reflect who they are and what they love. Four Bad Apples - clothes for real girls - has a nice ring don't you think? I can see it on the horizon...

  1. i like this post. my daughter dances, too - so she loves ballet inspired clothes, but she also loves video games, reading, playing detective and writing. Once I made her a Nancy Drew tshirt, which was fun. Have you tried freezer paper stenciling? you can make whatever clothes they want - just start buying plain shirts!

  2. My girls would love that! What a great idea. Hmmm... now to think of some stencils and raid the drawers to see what we can decorate.

  3. I just bought a roll of freezer paper to print fabric tags for baby shoes and hats. Yay, now I have another use for it! I will definitely do some stenciling. I also want to do some bleach pen drawing. There are lots of winter projects on the horizon!
