Just a note to say that the links here are not yet organized by state, so if you are looking for a shop or designer in your town then please ask and I can let you know if there are any. One idea here is that these businesses be supported locally, but also by shoppers beyond the immediate area who want to support either parents in business or any goods manufactured in the U.S. or who just really like what they see on a particular link. What I have noticed over time with my own daughter is that we get tons of compliments on the clothes from some of these boutiques or lines, and not so much with the mass-produced stuff. We had this one summer dress with a Western-cowboy theme from Studio Bini in Denver that was commented on everywhere we went--by Dads in the park, other Moms asking if it came in adult sizes, my own family. These unique clothes really get attention!
