Zia could often be quoted saying, “I’m wearing my imagination!”
During a winter break not so long ago, mother of two, Jaimee Newberry, made a dress for her daughter Zia based on of a drawing Zia had made. Then 6-year-old Zia loved it and wore it everywhere for a solid two months. It was such a big hit with everyone that saw it, and Zia could often be quoted saying, “I’m wearing my imagination!”
Due to the overwhelmingly positive response and requests from Zia’s friends and classmates to also ‘wear their imagination’, Jaimee and her boyfriend Ken brainstormed about how to turn this concept into something where kids everywhere could have fun with hands-on drawing and colouring, and then see their imaginative artwork come to life in wearable fashion form.
They pulled in friends Igi and Stephan to help bring their vision to life. After 10 months of prototyping, testing fabrics, patterns, sizes, building a website and locking down production logistics locally near Jaimee and Ken’s home in Las Vegas, Nevada (while also each having other full time work) the idea was brought to life and shared through a single Tweet from Jaimee’s personal account on August 17, 2016.
By the end of that first day, TechCrunch had written a story about Picture This Clothing, and thus began a viral explosion including features with Disney’s Babble.com, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, HARRY with Harry Connick Jr., Huffington Post, Product Hunt, Scary Mommy and many more. They were even shared by George Takei and Ashton Kutcher on their Facebook pages! Things really took off!

So, how does it work?
The whole process is really rather simple and painless. Firstly, you go over to the Picture This website, select a size and print out a colouring sheet. Then your child draws their little heart out and you send a picture of that drawing to the website. Two weeks later, the dress or t-shirt arrives in the mail. Yes, it really is as simple as that! Great idea, isn’t it? Check it out for yourselves by clicking here, and watch below as Jaimee introduces the 10-minute history of Picture This Clothing.
