Yes. I made K a “bralette”. Or, as it is known in preadolescent female circles, the training bra<\/em>.<\/p>\n

She almost exploded from happiness. I self-drafted the pattern (it’s just a cropped tank top after all) and as soon as I tied off the last knot, she whisked it from my hands and hasn’t taken it off for the last 48 hours. M recommended that I make her a few more versions or the beautiful white Anna Sui knit (also used for the puff-sleeved tee<\/a>) may end up some unspeakable hue.<\/p>\n

We’re prudes here, so I didn’t want to post an image with her wearing it, but she’s declared the bralette “ah-mazing”. That bashful and secretive smile! I remember when I was about K’s age, I desperately wanted a training bra too — what was the allure? Some romanticizing of womanhood, certainly, but maybe it gave me a new and exciting sense of belonging, even though on a practical level there was absolutely no need for one? A little like dress-up, tween version.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll put together a tutorial at some point if anyone is interested. I like the one I created because it’s so sweet and innocent-looking\u00a0and met with K’s approval. She will want, of course, an animal print bralette, but that won’t be happening…<\/p>\n

It’s an unexpected milestone! My little girl is growing up too fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
