Kitsch and Cute

I like kitsch! It's my favorite, I love it when my clothing has some sort of hidden meaning. The best dress is pretty but also has some little thing about it that makes people stop and think "oh wow that has a ______ on it, how cool!"

ET dress! I made this out of sheets. I have two of them and one is going up on my etsy site this week. https://www.etsy.com/shop/GlamCloud?ref=hdr

This is perhaps one of the cutest and prettiest dresses I've ever made, I love the kitty fabric so much, and how can you go wrong with cupcakes. This dress is up and for sale on my etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/194469065/kitties-and-cupcakes?ref=listing-2

Excuse me? I mustache you a question. I got that name from my Cousins wife who is a teacher :)

This is one of the many dresses that I made for myself for my birthday last month

My Fabric Drawers

Every week is a new adventure in dress making. I'm still taking things apart, and making them into new dresses

the two dresses on the left came from the one on the right that I made last year. I think the new dresses have the same feeling of adventure as the original but maintain more of a classic feel.

I made two of these, they were re made from a couple skirts. I call them "Little Cats on the Prairie"

This lovely cupcake dress was made with some fabric pieces I saved from a few other dresses. The black fabric is a fun mole skin.

I love this camera fabric, I was delighted to find enough of it to make this dress.

Then this monster dress, was made with the fabric left from a few mod dresses that I had made.

Welcome Summer!

It was a nice warm week here in Seattle. The beautiful sunny days made me think about what I'm going to want to wear this summer. Fun easy breezy dresses are the best way to bask in the glory of the sun.

Nautical fashion never seams to go out of style, and why should it! How can we not always love the lure of the Sea. I've made this dress in 2 sizes and it's a new take on one of my favorite patterns, I'm going to see about taking these along with a few others to Sassafras this coming week.

I love this Japanese floral fabric with little pandas hidden in it. I'm a fan of yellow, and I've always wanted to make a yellow dress for myself, but my coloring doesn't agree with the idea. So keeping the yellow away from my face is how I'm going to compromise ;)

I've been re claiming some of my own dresses this week, and I'm having a great time pairing the bits of fabric that I have with other fabrics that I can find.  This dress is available on my Etsy site https://www.etsy.com/listing/188169997/yakuza-tattoo?ref=shop_home_active_1

One of my favorite stores to make dresses for is Monster in Ballard, http://www.monsterartandclothing.com/
I get to make the most colorful and creative dresses of my dreams for the costumers there.

I made a size run of a different dress style with these cute little foxes, and I had a bit of fabric left over so I got to make this lovely foxy dress. I think she will go to Sassafras too :) http://www.sassafras-seattle.com/

The 60's and the Shift Dress

I love my new shift dress pattern! It's super flattering, has pockets, and reminds me of one of my favorite fashion decades (only without some of the itchy polyester fabrics :)

Owl dress! available in 3 sizes at Sassafras in Belltown Seattle http://www.sassafras-seattle.com/

Cupcake shift!

Oh the color! Feathers and berries, I have two and they are headed to Blush this week http://www.blushcleveland.com/

I want all of these, I'm hoping to add cute collars to the shift dresses this winter.

Japanese Garden, is at Frock Shop https://www.shopfrockshop.com/ in Seattle, I want to make one of these for me! I can also do special orders for this piece, the fabric is fabulous and I can get more of it.

Looking cute and sexy 60's style!

 I found all of the fun retro photos by following 60s_world on instagram.
