Best of Philly

2021 Girl-Dad

Michael Gardner

This West Philly dad taught himself to sew to better bond with his daughter Ava — and now makes father/daughter outfits for them both. Ava handles questions from curious onlookers, referring them to Gardner’s Instagram and Daddy Dressed Me blog, where he documents his work. He does her hair and nails, too, as Today gleefully reported earlier this year.
