Collection: For Sale

Good Evening, may dears!

As promised, I listed some of my collection on eBay

(at the disbelief of my mother, I might add, who called and said,

"What? No way? You absolutely CANNOT sell those dresses!")

But the thing is, I don't really need more clothes, I just really like building them,

so if you want a chance at these particular dresses, click on the link under

the pictures to get to each listing.

I'm not really looking to make money on these.

I started the price out at what it cost me to make them,

so I can turn the money back into more fabric for more new dresses for more

fabric for more new dresses for more fabric, uh...you get the picture.

I've already started collecting the most

brilliant fabrics for my next collection to

arrive on the blog hopefully by the mid-June or so....super excited!

Thanks to all of you for the enthusiastic response and e-mail/FB love.

I wish I could provide you all with a new wardrobe each season...

Aahhh...wouldn't that be fun?

(Oh, and for the general eBay public, the listing says I don't accept returns,

but for you, the most awesome readers ever...

if you win a dress that just doesn't work for you,

of course, you can return it, and I'll contact the next highest bidder.)

Collection: The Andrea

Hey there, dahlings!

I used my own slopers for the pieces in this collection.

However, when I came across this Donna Karen pattern,

I knew it was perfect for this dress...exactly what I needed.

I constructed this dress off of her design.

--A Collection by Kristina J.--

So, I call her the Andrea--

the free-wheelin' ball of fun.

She's the opposite of fussy and high-maintenance.

She's the one who gets in trouble with you,

and the one most likely to get you out.

Her skirt flares with godets because she's anything but straight-laced.

She keeps you laughing from a platform of sarcasm and realism...

She is both a whirlwind of adventure and a calm place to retreat.

When you're on top of the world, she's satirical--

bringin' ya back down to where you belong.

When you're miserable, she makes you laugh.

Time spent with her is the best time.

She's not completely carefree,

but she takes only the heavy things in life seriously.

She won't come untucked, unpinned or unbalanced,

'cuz she's tough enough to get you through the day.

She's up for anything, but most especially, she's there for you.

There is a carefree attitude about her.

You have to take her in from all angles to get the full effect.

It's hard to absorb her, to know exactly where

one element ends and the other begins,

because her intricate details lie beneath a smattering of polka-dots.

The Andrea Dress--

She's snarky, sarcastic and a boatload of fun.

She keeps you grounded...

helps you sweat the small stuff ('cuz sometimes you have to)

and when the days are long, she goes the distance with you.
