Katie Holmes: Suri designs her own clothes

Katie Holmes says her adorable daughter Suri likes to design her own clothes! The actress — who raises the tot with husband Tom Cruise — lets the 4-year-old pick out and craft her own outfits.

“I grew up the youngest of five, so there were a lot of hand-me-downs that I would sort of change up,” Holmes tells this week’s issue of New York magazine.

“And Suri and I do that now with her clothes. Or rather, she does it. She says, ‘I want this sleeve cut,’ and it’s like, ‘Okay, we’ll cut it.’ She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was one-and-a-half.

“I started making clothes for Suri when she was born, designing dresses, and then having seamstresses sew them, because I don’t sew very well.

“As a child, I was always drawing clothes, and I’ve always loved fabrics, and when Suri was born, I wanted to have certain things be from me and created just by me for her.

“Tom and I went to the Met ball a couple of years ago, and I had this beautiful red gown and these royal-blue shoes that I wasn’t planning on wearing, but Suri made me put them on and so I was like, ‘Okay, I trust you.’”
