The Modest is Hottest Fashion Show is coming to the Round Bobbin Springfield Quilting and Sewing Expo!
Born out of a frustration with a culture that wants our kids to grow up a little too fast, and a refusal to accept fashion rules determined by pop culture icons, the custom boutique industry has taken the fashion world and turned it on its head! Thousands of fashion forward designers and seamstresses have developed this grass-roots industry to meet the demands of even more fashion conscience moms, aunts, and grandmothers who are on the search for trendy, yet age-appropriate, clothing for kids. If you've had the same frustrations with the skimpy and mundane choices retailers are offering the kids in your life, then skip the mall and plan to attend the Modest is Hottest Fashion Show! It's sure to be a hit! DETAILED PHOTOS
