No particular order… some things you’ll find in the shop these days.
Thank you to all the shoppers this year! It’s been a true delight to adorn you with ready to wear and made to measure garments. 🥰
The clothes I sell are all natural materials, thoughtfully designed and made right here by me. So, undeniably “exclusive,” in that sense. But to kind and sensitive people of all varieties? Always inclusive.

It was a lovely dress. BUT. It didn’t look good on its owner. WHY? The shape of the neckline was all wrong for her face. This is something a manufacturer of even the nicest clothes can’t anticipate. Ready-to-wear brands don’t meet their customers.
The second picture shows the cardboard template I made, with the straight line of the original neckline vs. the curve that I changed it to. I marked where the curve should be WHILE LOOKING at her face, while she was wearing the garment. That’s how I knew, in real time, with my own eyes, that changing it would transform the style from “blah” to WOW. 🤩
On HER.
You’re lovely and unique.
If you feel like your clothes don’t look good on you, it’s because they weren’t made for you.
Get them altered!

Smocked dress from a few years ago. Large pieces like this take a long time. This dress is mine, and you can see that the stitches hold up well, but the natural dye in the threads (previously red and light brown, not dyed by me) have faded.

I’ve made pants for clients, but this is the FIRST pair I’ve made for myself!
They fit great, but I’m eager to refine the waistband-button-closure architecture. Next pair will be cotton canvas. Thoughts? -projects
