Girls want to be pirates too!

October 26, 2010

Imogen’s Wardrobe is flattered that its designs appeal to the more discerning little girl fashion shopper. Yes, we have had an order for a seven year old. Here is the first ‘three flags’ Little Girl Pirate long sleeved t-shirt, fit for the winter months, shiver me timbers!

We added a pink bow to complete the quirkiness of this design. The t-shirt is organic cotton mix and the applique is repurposed skull & cross bones cotton print. Here is its story for your little pirate girl…

The little girl pirates came in the night with a chest of treasure, full of delight. They snipped and they sewed all through the night to hoist three cross bones flags, what a magnificent sight!

“Remember the bow” shouted the little girl captain, “the one I have here is held on by my hat pin”. So they found pink ribbon in their treasure chest, and hoisted it up with fine cotton thread.

IW also has this girls t-shirt design in size 1-2 years (long sleeved black) and size 1-2 years (short sleeved white), to place an order please leave a comment.  Boys skull & cross bones t’s coming soon!

Here is the first design for little boy pirates from Imogen’s Wardrobe. This organic long sleeved t-shirt is appliqued with repurposed silk, recycled ribbon and finished with a real coconut button, complete with a little palm tree.  The story is below for all your aspiring little boy pirates.

The story of the Little Boy Pirate Top…

The little boy pirates sailed through the night with a chest full of treasure, what a delight! They took fine silk from a furniture maker and made a sail pattern out of strong layout paper. They heaved the sail up until it was tight: moonlit blue silk what magnificent sight.

“Hoist the pirate flag!”, ordered the Little Boy Captain, ” there’s land up ahead, be ready with those swords men”. So they landed on the treasure island and set about digging, on a beach full of coconut shell buttons which they used for the rigging.

Every label has a story…

It was a challenge finding the right label design to include the garment stories for our budding pirates. It took a lot of editing, cutting pasting and gluing! In the end, a recycled paper luggage tag did the trick, very fitting with Imogen’s Wardrobe ethics. The new labels go fabulously with the Autumn/Winter collection.
