Made to Order

Most New Yorkers dream about being a fashion designer – for you childhood meant dressing paper dolls, Barbie, the cat or your little brother in original creations made from hand-me-downs and old Halloween costumes. With such an eye for style, your baby (a one-of-a-kind kid) needs to look unique – even if the closest you'll get to "designer" is watching Full Frontal Fashion, and your budget is more BabyGap than Barneys.

Hand Picked Pumpkin, a new online boutique, lets you be the designer and choose colors and patterns to create truly unique looks for your little one without breaking the bank. Pick a garment (options include tees, hats, onesies, hoodies, playsuits and pants), then choose a size (3 through 24 months), and start designing. Imagine soft interlock knit fabric in a modern hue like chocolate brown, periwinkle blue or kiwi, with woven trims for pockets, cuffs and linings. With dozens of fabrics, colors and patterns, you can create hundreds of hip combos – ready-made as well as customizable options abound. Even better, the collection is hand sewn in Chicago, and a portion of sales go to support children's charities.

Your stylish creations are destined to become baby's go-to favorites; they're as comfy as sweats and built for maximum mobility. After all, frilly dresses, button-fly jeans and chunky sweaters may look good, but try learning to crawl in them.

A cotton candy tee with cocoa stripe flare pants? Who else could come up with such a daring combo but you, dahling.
