Trend Alert: Pettiskirts are not just for dress-up anymore
Filed under: Places To Go, Celeb Kids, Decor
When Dakota Fanning wore a skirt made from vintage petticoats to the Teen Choice Awards in 2003, it caught the eye of Molly Swindall, an 11-year-old girl from Atlanta. She loved it so much that she tracked down designer Kandi Lightner and convinced her to expand her business. Swindall also convinced her father to invest in the business and Kaiya Eve Pettiskirts was born.
Now, I was unaware of this trend until today, but I am loving them. They are all about the fluff and puff, with designers competing to see who can use the most yards of chiffon in each design. All swirly and bouncy in a rainbow of colors, what little girl wouldn't want to wear one?
They come is sizes from baby to tween and can set you back up to $120. Of course, Ellie loves them. If she's really, really good, Santa just might leave one under the tree for her.

Marcia said...That's the kind of thing we talked about with the site review. Who can afford to spend $120 on a skirt you're kid could probably wear for a year max? That's just ridiculous spending. I admit they're cute, but I'm sure there are knock-offs WAY more affordable.

tiffany said...you guys should check out fabbygabby.com and tutposh.com--they have super fluffy tutus and pettiskirts. I think she even does custom.
I got a beautiful tutu for Edan's bday there--they are homemade and it's a mom run business. The customer service is great, and the petticoats/tutus are a lot cheaper than $120. I reccomend it to everyone.
