    Thanks! Actually my model Freddie is non binary - their name was Chloe when I knew them when they were a little girl. Freddie doesn't identify as either male or female. Freddie and also their non binary sibling both being on my model team, are a big part of the reason I am no longer gendering my inventory - to the extent that that's possible.

    Gender is such a fluid thing for people these days and a lot of the young people I work with are just looking for fun clothes for their body, no matter what gender the clothes were originally made for. But swanky, yes, lol, they would like that compliment! :)

    That opened a thought - I have been taking off gender references when I list my vintage sewing patterns; 'Misses and Women's' but I keep 'Juniors, Petites and Half-Size" I also do not use of 'girls coat or boys cowboy shirt' I just use child. Any other pointers are appreciated.
