Mom and businessman Jaimee Newberry founded “Picture This”—a new company that allows kids to turn their drawings into dresses.
The process is simple: Parents choose a dress size and print out the coloring book—style models available on the “Picture This” website. Once their kids have colored and decorated the models, the grown-ups can upload photos of the completed designs on the website and place their orders. The finished dresses arrive within a few weeks.
“Picture This” was inspired by a dress Newberry made for her daughter, Zia, inspired by her artwork. In a Medium post detailing he history of “Picture This”, Newberry wrote that Zia loved the dress and told people, “I’m wearing my imagination!”
“Due to the positive response and requests from Zia’s friends and classmates, Ken, Igi, Stephen and I chatted about how to turn this idea into something where kids everywhere could have fun with hands-on drawing and coloring, and then see their imaginative artwork come to life in wearable fashion form,” Newberry explained.
In addition to kid-sized dresses, “Picture This” also allows kids to design dresses for their dolls. And although the service currently only offers dresses, they have plans to expand the clothing choices.
For now, Newberry invites families to try out the service and post photos of their dresses on social media. Based on he various kinds of kid art in the world, it’s clear these dresses will certainly be unique.

The transition from old fuels to new will be slow, as will the development of new technologies that present feasible alternatives to fossil fuels or help eliminate food and water problems. All current technologies are inadequate, and new ones will probably not be commercially possible by 2025
