Sarah loved designing her own clothes as a little girl and with the help of her mother's talented sewing skills, she was able to wear unique 'Sarah' creations with pride. Now a mother of a 7 year old daughter who has followed in Mommy's designing footsteps, Sarah thought every little girl should have the opportunity to create their own designer wear at a very affordable cost.....thus was born Fashion Playtes!

I love the concept of getting your daughter to design her own clothes. I couldn't resist the opportunity to review how this worked, so I went ahead and played designer for Bunny girl.


Before I share my design masterpiece with you, I have to assure you that its 'easy-peasy' for your child to design their outfit, jacket or accessory of choice. It's a simple 'click, choose and then click again to the next stage' application.

Unfortunately this application is targeted towards girls in the age range of 6-14 years, but let that not dissuade you. Bunny girl wears a 4T and I ordered the smallest size (6-6x). It is a little big for her but in no way looks awkwardly over-sized.

I chose to work with the Chloe short sleeved baby doll top, picked the size and then chose to go with a Plum colored top. I opted to keep it simple with a purple primrose flower ribbon on the hem and bordering the waist and finally picked a butterfly applique as Bunny girl loves butterflies.

I finished the piece off with a unique personalized Fashion Playtes label that carries her initials on the same.

Ta-dah!!......

I love the look and the fabric is great. I personally love the fabric used in The Children's Place tees and I felt this is similar but a slightly more superior quality in terms of not being as flimsy.

Fashion Playtes had provided me with a gift code to work on the 'Bunny girl creation' and I managed to have a few dollars left, so created 2 hairbands. (A black hairband and the pretty pink paisley print one below)

Around the same time that I placed my order, I received an email stating that I'd won a blog giveaway that had been hosted well before this review opportunity came about. I clean forgot about entering the same, so it was a treat to be able to create yet another unique 'Bunny girl design'.

This time round I opted to work with The Payton denim jacket. This was a little pricier than the Chloe, so to ensure I stayed within budget I just opted for a Pink Paisley ruffle on the collar, cuffs and hemline. The buttons I used were the regular Fashion Playte buttons and once again, I couldn't resist adding the personalized label with Bunny girl's initials on the back.

I love the way it turned out as the jacket has that casual look that's made delicately fashionable with the pink ruffles.

And when you pair both creations, the overall look is 'oh so cute'!
