This Dad Sews Custom Clothes For His 9-Year-Old Daughter, And Here Are 30 Of The Coolest Ones
Michael Gardner is a 36-year-old father who's discovered his biggest passion—sewing clothes—by looking for a way to make his daughter feel happier and more confident. Michael started teaching himself to sew back in 2014 as a way to bond with his daughter Ava who, at the time, was only 3 years old. He began making custom designs for Ava by refashioning thrifted women's clothing which later lead him to starting an Instagram account and a blog called Daddy Dressed Me.
"My mission is to help Ava build her self-esteem and establish confidence in herself and her abilities. I sew the clothes and Ava models," Michael explains on his blog. "I learned through trial and error, watched tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest and just started creating." The man has already created over 200 unique-looking outfits for his daughter, which he's been regularly posting on Instagram. The duo's Instagram profile currently has almost 21k followers.
Without further ado, Bored Panda invites you to scroll down and look through the list featuring some of our favorite outfits that Michael has designed for his lovely daughter Ava. As always, make sure to vote for your favorite ones!

I love that they’re wearing vibrant pink on top and slightly more subdued colors below.
Daddy's girl.....ya think? She'll probably never understand how loved she is. What a blessing.
I get a kick out of the fact that her accessories match her clothes.
Hi from NZ. Wow they are all amazing Cld not pick just one Amazing and ur daughter is so proud Keep doing what you are doing😀😀 Teresa
Any Dad who takes the time to invest in their daughters interests gets a big ol' thumbs up from me.
beautiful!! Please start a clothing line!!! there are so many "mommy and me" for moms and daughters and fathers and songs but literally ZERO for daughter and dad (my dad is like my best friend, *mom is great too but def grew up bonding with dad and the outdoors)..
I know a young woman who takes after her father in traveling by motorcycle. Her brother is more into discussing politics (like their mother). It leaves development and growth more open when no one applies gender conformity to interests and self-expression. And don't anyone be fooled by gender expression -- my sister-in-law is quite girly, but uses that to advantage as a very tough and effective prosecutor. She'll ask ever-so-nicely to repeat that story and ever-so-nicely poke holes in it.
