‘Trolls hate how I dress my baby but I love that she stands out from the crowd’
A mum has spoken out after trolls criticised the way she dresses her baby – saying she loves that the tot “stands out from the crowd” with intricate outfits.
Geriiee Lamb likes to dress her six-month-old daughter Romy-Rae in frilly clothes, headdresses and bows, with the outlandish looks garnering attention on social media.
But the 27-year-old, from Keighley, West Yorkshire, has defended her unique fashion choices.
“My style is just my own – I love to be different,” Geriiee, a makeup artist, told https://whatsthejam.com/.
“I have always hated people wearing the same thing.
“I love having things handmade for Romy.
“It’s different – she’ll stand out from a huge crowd!
“I get all sorts of comments [about it], but I’m thick skinned, I really couldn’t care less.
“A lot of people actually really, really like the way I dress her – we even have shoes and jackets matching.”
Users on TikTok – where Geriiee’s videos have garnered up to two million views – have criticised her for dressing her “like a doll and not a baby”.
Geriiee said: “People call me a gypsy, traveller, they say it’s cruelty.
“She doesn’t live in the outfits.
“They’re put on for pictures – the majority of the time she’s then back in a vest and Babygro.
“People in public always comment on how cute she is, how strong, and also how small she is with being a premature baby.
“Some people love it some people hate it.
“Her ears were pierced at six months old.
“She didn’t cry, it didn’t bother her whatsoever – people say it’s awful, some people like it.
“But you can’t please everyone.”
Despite the criticism, other people have defended Geriiee’s style choices on TikTok.
One person commented: “Doesn't matter what she wears, because that beautiful smile is precious.”
