I am definitely passing this along to my friends with daughters!

But I must stress that the weather and keeping warm is a huge issue up here in frosty upstate NY . As I type this, my girls are outside in a blowy snowstorm shoveling our driveway. Even though they are wearing dresses, they are toasty warm- mainly because they wear multiple layers from November on until March. We do long underwear under heavy thick tights.... and sometimes capri length leggings over top of that, or they might wear brightly colored leggings with coordinating socks. Our winter skirts are also heavier and longer and worn with thicker slips or petticoats as well. I agree with Rebekah that the skirty would work beautifully with lightweight white tights, but not so much with heavier fare. I suspect that things will even out a bit more once the weather becomes milder here in the great white north! Rest assured that we northern gals are just as concerned with keeping our little ladies well covered as are our southern sisters;-) Another northeastern gal weighing in here on what seems to be the question du jour;-) It does seem that the South does reign supreme when it comes to gracious living here in the US.

However, I'm not waiting to pass this along to friends with little girls that might be interested. I'm looking forward to ordering:)!

Angie - way to go on taking the Skirty to the Northeast! And now I'm going to weigh in on this question of the weather. First of all, in all of my pictures the Skirty is pictured with bare legs - and it understandably seems like a warm weather garment. However, I myself put my girls in them year round - and they wear them over tights in the winter. This isn't really the cutest thing in the world, but it's a massive improvement over everyone seeing pink panties showing through the tights. Or everyone seeing that the tights are on inside out and backwards. Or, my personal favorite - everyone seeing that the 7 year old accidentally put on the 3 year old's pair of tights and is looking like she has penguin legs. But I should also make this qualification - I am talking here purely about white tights. I would never put a white Skirty over colored tights, or striped tights, or sweater tights. Some of those really hefty tights practically count as leggings with feet . . . and a Skirty would be superflous, not to mention unsightly, with a pair of those. Howdy-do everyone!

Bloomers in the summer, pantaloons in the winter. Since this is already the cultural norm here, the skirty fits in with what people are already accustomed to buying.

I think the reason for the popularity in the South is mainly cultural, and that the weather has probably influenced the culture a bit. We do tend to dress our girls up more, and not just on Sundays. I have lots of friends whose little girls don't even own pants(and not because they have theological reasons against them). And I would submit that even in cold climates, the skirty would look lovely over tights. Yes, although it is warmer in the South, it is still cold here now, definitely tights weather.
