Dress up your baby in the worst, ugliest gift outfit and invite over some other poorly dressed babies for a costume party and ugly-clothing contest. Dorky gifts, ratty hand-me-downs, and hopeless mismatches can finally have their day.
Try not to be offended if your idea of cutest-outfit-ever winds up on one of the other models. Cute is completely in the eye of the beholder here.
My younger brother Chad (pictured) models something from the mid-seventies in the hopes that I won’t offend any of YOU with my idea of ugly. I actually think he’s pretty adorable here anyway.
Take lots of pictures, but be careful who sees them!

Well that is a cute idea. We tried to use some of the heirloom clothes that were saved and passed down but they didn’t keep too well. Except for the christening gown.
My Sweetie Pea Pies seemed to take the cutest picks buck naked but I’d not share any of those.
Cheers from MotherPie.
The things that many people don’t seem to realize when buying outfits for children are that what looks good on the hanger doesn’t always look good on the baby and (just like grown-ups) some really cute things are ill suited for some children. My petite daughter had a couple of outfits that looked like she was being eaten alive by omnivorous ruffles.
The hilarious thing is that the people who give you the ugly/embarassing outfits usually are sporting something pretty similar themselves!
Sounds fun!
Send me the pictures of the ugly baby parties…I will post them in an Ugly Baby Clothes album….( http://www.uglybabycontest.com )
HA! My son’s uncle sent us the most hideous romper ever made. It was name brand but super ugly. It was blue with neon red cowboys hats and neon green horses. Plus it had some super wide hips so it looked like parachute pants. Saddest thing of all, it was not a joke.
