Ship ahoy!

I don’t know when Donald Duck became a fashion icon, but apparently the patternmaking companies thought they hit pay-dirt with these nautical sewing gems. Dressing like a sailor is appropriate for little boys under the age of 8, for women who have already given birth to their first child… not so much. I’m all for women taking cues from menswear and making it their own, but I can think of more interesting outfits than a bell bottom-clad cast extra from The Village People’s “In The Navy” video.
