MAKE SURE YOUR STOCKINGS ARE STUFFED WITH CARE BY GIVING MATILDA & COMPANY THIS HOLIDAY
Loved Ones Will Cherish Gifts from the Vintage-Inspired Children's Clothing Line
LOS ANGELES (Winter 2007) - Gift giving is easy this year with items from vintage inspired children's clothing and product line, Matilda & Company. Featuring unique, one-of-a-kind items such as burp cloths and bib sets, story book pillows and hooded towel sets accented with retro-print patterns or hand-embroidery, gifts by Matilda & Company will remain in the family as heirlooms for years to come. This year's holiday collection features whimsical western and story time patterns.
The Matilda & Company holiday collection also outfits children with its beautiful blouse and pants set and picture perfect full-skirted dresses, just right for family gatherings. Skip the usual green and red velvet attire and clothe the little ones in pieces meticulously created with retro-print velvet embellished with luxurious silk, organza and grosgrain ribbon detailing. Choose from the collection's Circle Skirt Dress which consists of a silk bodice, full petticoat and wide ribbon belt that ties into a scrumptious back bow, or the Empire Dress featuring velvet bodice, silk bubble skirt and front-tying grosgrain belt.
Matilda & Company is the creation of designer Paula Corley, Otis College of Art and Design's Class of 1990's "Designer of the Year," who got her start working for Bob Mackie. After five years of overseeing his couture line and licensed products, Paula retired from the fashion business to become a stay-at-home mother to her first daughter, Matilda. It was then that ideas started forming - from bibs that wouldn't be an eyesore in first birthday photos to dresses that were comfortable yet pretty and could go from the playground to the washing machine. Paula began turning vintage linens into drool bibs, and shortly after, Matilda & Company was born. The line continued to grow following the birth of Paula's second daughter, Penelope, and party dresses, bias silks and chiffons were soon incorporated.
"Matilda & Company's 2007 holiday line features the same nostalgic yet wearable stylings that we incorporate into all our pieces, but it's dressed up and appropriate for the parties and celebrations that go hand and hand with the holiday season," says Corley. "It's a joy to create dresses and outfits with that little something special that both child and parents will fondly remember and reminisce about for many years to come."
Matilda & Company clothing is available for both boys and girls from infancy through size 9/10 and is made in the U.S.A. The line can be found in over 200 high-end boutiques throughout the United States and online at www.matildaandcompany.com
