MiMi Bug Artful Wear launches signature character buttons and and build-your-own wraparound skirt kit

[Seattle, WA]-[May 15th, 2011] MiMi Bug Artful Wear has created a new buzz in children’s fashion and creative play with its newest release -- custom double-sided character buttons designed to accompany its popular line of customizable skirts, shirts and doll clothing. The company also announced it's newest clothing design, a wraparound skirt.

The new character buttons allow children to build on narratives from MiMi, the loyal and friendly lady bug, FuFu, the fashion conscious butterfly, and BiBi, the industrious bee and other treasured friends. These characters are sure to capture the hearts of children.

MiMi Bug is also proud to announce it's newest customizable clothing design, the grow-with-me wrap around skirt kit. The unique kit, which is available in two sizes (age 4-7 and age 8-12), features a button-and-ribbon-ready denim skirt with interchangeable colorful ribbons, and MiMi Bug's new custom double-sided character buttons. The kit is packaged in a reusable bag.

MiMi Bug Artful Wear is designed for creative expression. Children place buttons and weave ribbons through the clothes, creating countless combinations. At the end of their creative process, children are proud to wear their beautiful and meaningful clothes that they created themselves.

Ming-Ming Tung-Edelman, the visionary behind Seattle-based MiMi Bug Artful Wear, was inspired to create her own apparel and accessory company by her own daughter’s creative ambition to proudly express her individual style through clothing. Ming-Ming began by hand-making skirts and shirts that her daughter could customize and change daily with ribbons, strips of fabric and buttons. Soon her daughter's friends and other neighborhood children began asking for their own outfits, and MiMi Bug Artful Wear was born. The line grew to include matching interchangeable doll outfits, and Ming-Ming's newest addition, the wrap-around skirt. For Ming-Ming, it has meant adding a new moonlighting shift to her busy schedule as mother of two elementary school children and a professional pharmacist. Ming-Ming remarks, "It’s been such a joy to see children customize and wear my fun skirts and shirts over and over again, I love watching the creative process these children go through." MiMi Bug Artful Wear began to grow through word of mouth, home shows and children's parties, and is now being carried in shops in the Seattle area. Ming-Ming hopes to see more and more children enjoying the experience of proudly wearing their own MiMi Bug creations!
