Idea Description

Many children are extra-sensitive to the texture and feel of clothing. This would be first line of "inclusive clothing" designed with the needs of all children in mind, including those with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, and a range of sensory sensitivity. We use flat seaming, and tubular knit our garments in 100% of the softest combed cotton. We will print our labels, provide custom sizing, and much more. We want to give parents a break, by providing them with a one-stop-shop where they can find reliably comfortable clothing for their sensitive dressers.softclothing.net

What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

I’ve written the business plan, designed the clothing, conducted months of market research, found a manufacturer, and already received a lot of positive feedback from parents and kids who are awaiting the chance to buy. All I need now is the money! My next steps include: start manufacturing process, convert current website into a full-service online store, send sample clothing to volunteer children and families to make sure the clothing "works" for these dressers--and then make corrections if necessary, start my marketing campaigns, get all the legal/tax/insurance components in order, and continue designing for future seasons. I’m ready!
