Site of the Day: SOFT (clothing for all children)

Thursday October 4, 2007

Have you ever wished you could tell a clothing manufacturer exactly what kind of garments your child needs -- style, texture, weight, tags, seams, fasteners, everything so that you could finally get something your super-sensitive kid would wear happily? The founder of SOFT is giving you that chance.

The company isn't quite in business yet, aiming for a 2008 launch, but its site gives a good overview of the sort of clothing they're planning to offer, all of it designed to bring comfort and style to children with autism, sensory integration dysfunction, and other disabilities that make finding bearable clothes a challenge.

Jessica Elsas, the founder and design director of SOFT, has left a message on the Parenting Special Needs Forum inviting input from parents as to what her store should offer, and similar information requests can be found on the site itself. This is your chance to get that one thing you can never seem to find anywhere. Make contact!

I hope to see it open soon! I’m not sure their suggestions link works, though.
