New Designs are coming soon!!

It's been a little while since we updated our website, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy. In fact, we're in the process of deciding which of our new designs to add to the website and inventory for our spring shows. Beyond the opportunity to interact with our customers, creating the new designs is my favorite part of the business. As we update the website in the next couple weeks, you can expect to see a wide variety of new themes, including: spring holidays, animals, sports, music, and a whole new set of colors and types of clothing. I don't want to give away all our secrets, but we hope that you'll be as excited as we are to see your kids wearing these fun new designs.

Each design is hand-drawn first and then cutouts are placed on sample shirts, dresses and aprons. My kids love to get involved with this part, letting them practice their cutting skills. Next we head down to the fabric stores to find possible combinations of styles, textures and colors.

When we started Gracely Girl, our "research" was done by going right to our potential customers.  Mommies and their children, who also happened to be friends and families.  In 2010, we hope to open up this process to the creative ideas of our customers. You can expect to see dozens of designs on the website soon, and we hope you'll give us your feedback on which ones you like best. And if you have creative ideas for other combinations or themes, send those along too.

We'll get some early pictures posted over the next couple of weeks, so check back soon. - Amy
