Katherine top, back view
I was given the opportunity to review some clothes made by Pockets of Dreams. In case you were not aware, Pocket of Dreams gives away a new dress to an Ugandan girl or a grant to an Ugandan seamstress with your purchase. This is a company that is making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate, a very worthwhile and noble effort. This company and its history tells its own story and its legacy will touch many in Uganda.
Katherine top and capris, Pockets of Dreams
This is the Katherine top and capris. The top is very versatile and can be used year round. You can wear long sleeves underneath it in the winter, and short sleeves in the spring, or wear it alone in the summer. Throw different colored tanks underneath for an ever changing look! You could also use a short little jacket over the top to change it up a bit if you want a more formal look. I loved the double flounce, the solid accent of the trim and the unique, colorful flower print, all of which make it extra girly!! Something I did note was that the straps are adjustable so your little girl can wear the top for a long time because there are three different sizes on the adjustable shoulder straps – it will grow as your child grows. There are even “secret” pockets underneath the top flounce. The top did seem to run a bit small in sizing so make a note of that for future purchases.
The capris are adorable. The material appears to be very durable, but soft and comfortable at the same time. I really liked the matching trim around the bottom of the capris and as if you could make it any sweeter, the embroidered pea pod on the bottom of the leg added just an little extra detail to the ensemble. The capris seems to run a little larger but they do have an adjustable elastic waistband to loosen or tighten as needed, in addition to the zipper and button flap. Both the top and the bottoms appeared to be of a very good quality and are uniquely designed.

I must admit that the clothes seem to be rather expensive, but I think that when you look at the overall agenda of the company, it may be worth the price knowing that you are helping a little girl in Uganda get something new too, or that you are helping a young woman get a sewing business off the ground. I think also that with the versatility of the top the price can be justified because it really is something that a little girl could wear year round for all occasions and the quality of the clothes speak for themselves.
