This Dad Taught Himself Fashion Design To Boost His Daughter’s Confidence

March 4, 2021

Oh, the things a dad will do for his daughter.

Michael Gardener’s daughter, Ava, was three years old when he decided to do something amazing for her:

Make her her own clothing.

Michael wanted to help boost Ava’s confidence by making her clothes that she felt comfortable and stylish in. So, he taught himself how to sew via YouTube. And over the years, he has made over 200 outfits for Ava.

And some matching pieces for himself!

Ava is nine years old now, and honestly, she has better style than we do.

It’s written all over her face. Michael’s fashion designing for Ava has done exactly what he wanted it to.

That is one amazing dad!

Michael and Ava have a whole Instagram account dedicated to their outfits, too. Check it out here!
