What You'll Get
Today’s side deal gives pre-teen girls an opportunity to design their own threads. For $25, you get $50 toward custom-designed clothing from Fashion Playtes. This online fashion factory lets girls aged about 6 to 12 create their own clothing designs via an easy-to-use web interface. Designs can be saved, shared, and transformed into a tangible copy of the cyber threads. Orders take three weeks to process, stitch, and deliver.
The building party begins when mini-fashionistas pick out the type of garment they’d like to create. Choose from clothes ($12–$25) such as dresses, T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, and more or various accessories ($6–$25) such as belts, headbands, and sack packs, among others. Next, pick the appropriate size and favorite color or pattern. With the basics in place, the in-depth customization can begin. Add special touches for a few extra bucks, such as a ribbon, rhinestones, ruffles, and a rosette. Add a customized label ($5) so future receivers of hand-me-downs will always be reminded who is responsible for their lovely outfit.
Parents and daughters can bond over clothing creation while inspiring creativity and imagination. Gift one to your cross-country niece or your far-off best friend’s little stylist.
Reviews
Fashion Playtes' fashion- and technology-forward ways were featured on Great Day Houston and in the Salem Gazette, and Facebook fans are crazy for the site:
- Fashion Playtes custom clothing is “sew” cool, and thanks to this online interactive fashion design web site (FashionPlaytes.com), holiday, birthday and special-occasion shopping for girls ages 6 through 12 just got a lot easier. Imagine turning on your computer, checking your e-mail and receiving a wish list from your daughter, niece or granddaughter, who spent time online designing a dress with hand-selected trim and a personalized label from a base selection of Fashion Playtes clothing and accessories. All you have to do is pay online, and within two to three weeks, you’ll receive a beautifully wrapped box in the mail — ready for giving. – Charlene Peters, Salem Gazette
- My niece bought THREE shirts with the gift-card I bought her for Christmas! She had a great time designing them, and LOVES wearing them! It's so hard shopping for pre-teens, especially when they live across the country - so it meant a lot to me to be able to buy something she really enjoyed. – Elaine H., Facebook
- In the direct words of my 7 yr old yesterday (as she opened her FP package) - "OMGosh! These are so amazing!! I LOOOOVE Fashion Playtes… – Jessica R., Facebook
