Sew Perfect

Treehouse28's Custom Clothing for Girls

Your girl’s too cool for off the rack, too tomboyish for tulle.

Treat her to custom-made layering pieces from Sebastopol-based designer Alix McCauley. Hooded dresses, A-line tops and skirts, ruffled pants, and playful accessories (arm warmers, ponchos) will suit her unique style. Stretchy, versatile, and cut to fit your one-and-only, the line is also surprisingly affordable.

Simply measure your lass, let her choose the colors, and add any special instructions. Within two weeks, her new outfit will arrive in the mail.

It’ll be too perfect.
