What Korean Babies Look Like

Back when Izzie was first born, my mom brought over a few outfits that she and some family friends had gotten for Izzie. These are beautiful clothes - great fabric, cute and just really well made. Last week, I came home from work, and my nanny had taken the clothes from Korea, and had Izzie do a little fashion show. How cute is she?



My short analysis of the American baby textile industry is that, we like to dress our babies like baby versions of kids. If you blew up any kind of baby clothing, it wouldn't look really that odd on a kid or even an adult. But not Koreans.... they take advantage of the fact that babies don't care how you dress them - and they put them in the cutest little outfits ever that adults would be horrified to be in. But you're only a baby once - so why not dress them this way?


Do I look good?


Yeah? Okay!
