Finding interesting fashion for boys can be a challenge -- which is why the mom who founded Popadum became enamored with obsessed with traditional Indian fabrics and patterns on a trip to Rajasthan. The results are stunning pieces that can be worn by both boths and girls. Babble editor Ada took one shirt on a road test; here's what she had to say:
These Indian-style shirts ($20-$30) initially struck me as far too pretty for toddlers. I took one look at the stack of white-with-gold-brocade tunics and imagined them smeared with goldfish-cracker drool. So I opted for the light, soft tie-dyed one in gray and blue. My one-year-old son seemed to love it and wore it happily on several occasions. As pretty as it was, the shirt survived multiple Drefting without incident. The only problem: some fellow parent on the playground made a crack about it making the kid look like a '60s folk singer. "Nuh-uh," I said. "Folk singers have hair."
