Made for the 3+ crowd, these little numbers start as a skirt~ completely reversible and completely customizable in terms of colours. Made of 8 mm (momme) sik with hand rolled hems and decorative waistband stitching (size 18 - 30"), roughly 17" long.
But.
Wait.
There's more!
This 'skirt' can be worn at the waist as a two layered skirt, or under the arms for an empire waist/ princess look.
And that's not all... (LOL)

Around the neck/ shoulders as a knightly cape. Tuck up the skirt tails in front and leave them long in back for a mermaid, or tuck it all up for a flouncy fairy look. Tuck the tails between the legs and create harem/ sultan pants!



OK, I think my pitch is wearing thin. I am just really excited about the versatility of these 'items' (I *really* need a good name, suggestions welcome!) because while there is some minimal structure, they maintain the spirit of playsilks, which is open ended, allowing the child to determine the play.
Stocking soon in our Etsy Shop.

My four year old votes for 'wonder cape". Keep in mind that he is a HE. LOL
Ooh! I like it!!
How fun! Can you make adult sizes too? lol
How about imagi-silks? They can be worn in any way your child can imagine. (or, A full wardrobe in one silk)
