KATYDID COLLECTION LAUNCHES GIRLS CLOTHING LINE
Dallas-based fashion label Katydid Collection introduces punky tees and tanks for little princesses 

Dallas - In addition to her successful women's clothing, handbag, and accessories label, local entrepreneur Katy Messersmith introduces girls' T-shirts and tanks to the Katydid Collection brand this summer.

"My women's tops have been such a big hit, that a matching children's collection was a natural step," says the 31-year old Texas native.  "Whether a little girl wants to match her mom, or just stand out on the playground, these styles are perfect for fashion-savvy kids."

The designs are a mini version of Katy's wildly-popular women's tattoo-inspired tees and tanks.  The tops feature popular motifs - crosses, crowns, fleur-de-lis - embellished with clear and colorful crystals.  Some styles also include punky phrases such as "Rock Angel" and "Rebel at Heart" in bold lettering across the front.

Currently, the collection has ten tees and five tanks for little girls' size four to ten.  Each cotton tee, which retails for $28 and up, is machine washable and made in the USA. 

Consumers are encouraged to follow Katydid Collection on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates on new styles available and on special offers.
