Instagrammer Ilana Wiles (@mommyshorts) is behind this new trending hashtag, #babysuiting, that has mommies dressing their little ones up in goofy ensembles that are much too big for the childrens’ tiny, bald heads. Since her own daughters are a bit too old and mobile for the project, Wiles began the series with her 3-month-old nephew. She then continued to friends’ houses and dressed up any baby she could find as a teensy little executive. Since then, the hashtag has continued to develop with other Instagrammers joining in on the fun.
The Daily News talked with Wiles:
“Originally, I wanted to dress them up to look like the characters in Mad Men but women’s clothing really didn’t work,” she told the Daily News. “The suits were much funnier. Something about the big padded shoulders made them all look like that scene in Beetlejuice with the shrunken head.”
