LATEST SALES....

These pantaloons are a custom made pair...I used an old bed sheet and part of a curtain....I added bits and pieces of tattered fabric and lace, lots of vintage lace as well.

This top needed just a touch of the Prairie feel, so I added lots of tattered fabric and vintage lace. The customer wanted the pantaloons to somewhat match the blouse, so I added the same bits and pieces on both pieces.Thanks Ms. D.

A FEW SALES......

This lovely outfit was totally up-cycled. I used part of the blouse on another piece then added a love table runner for the part that had been cut away....The skirt was long and boring...I used some of the hem on another blouse and decided to cut the rest of the skirt to create this lovely asymmetrical hem full of bits and pieces.                                                                         The whole outfit came out beautifully.  
 This mini bustle turned out wonderful...I showed the piece with lovely vintage broaches to give an idea of how to wear it...It can be worn in the front like an apron, in the back like a bustle or as a cape to be worn over that special prairie outfit.....
 This sweater is a small so I turned it in to a prairie bolaro  ....and I added several pieces of doilies,  ribbon and vintage mother of pearl buttons....

...JUST A FEW PIECES THAT FOUND A NEW HOME.....

This beautiful dress started out as an old sheet...I added lots to vintage lace and loads of bits and pieces...

This pair of Taps was a pair of Capri's that got turned into a bit of sexxyness...The feminine quality is surely there.... 

This blouse was bought by a return client....Thanks Ms. K
