Custom Couture Fashion Design Kit

Grandmothers can help their littlest fashion plate unleash her inner Donna Karan with the new Custom Couture Fashion Design Kit, by Imagine This. The New York-based company provides your granddaughter with a sketchpad, colored pencils, and swatches of different fabrics. So, the two of you can sit down, sketch, and brainstorm on her perfect, custom made ensemble.

Once her vision is on paper, simply send the sketch and a completed questionnaire back to the dressmakers, who will cut, sew, and mail your granddaughter’s creation in about eight weeks. The package includes a phone consultation with your granddaughter’s seamstress, and one round of alterations before the finished product is shipped. The company can also arrange a professional photo shoot in New York or Los Angeles for her to show off her creation, but we’re sure the thousands of photos you’ll take will do the same trick.
