Clothing is a "basic needs", but little is ever taught to kids about how garments are made,
where they come from and what questions they should ask themselves when purchasing clothing. 
Getting dressed is a form of creative self expression and teaching kids about fashion, dress and style as early as possible sets them up to be true individuals and thoughtful future consumers.
