An owner of a kids clothing boutique has hit back at “snowflake and touchy women” after they slammed a babygrow which says the wearer will get “a spray tan, false eyelashes and a lip filler like Mummy”. Victoria King, who runs Vicky’s Babywear and personalised items, is known for her tongue-in-cheek designs.
But she was met with backlash when she posted a photo on Facebook in February of the playful sleepsuit created for a customer. Victoria, from Norton, Cheshire, noticed it had more comments than usual, and was horrified when she noticed people describing the outfit as “well grim”.
The mum-of-one considered deleting the post but her friends reassured her that the items wouldn’t be “everyone’s cup of tea” and that she can design what she wants. Her loyal customers were quick to praise the design, which was for a 0-3 month baby girl, and since the incident she has been flooded with orders for similar babygrows.
