the trixie dress

image: Trashy Diva
SInce we all found out the terrible news about indies getting copied, I thought I’d tip my hat to Trashy Diva.
She’s one of the designers putting up a fight against a web boutique (I’d name it, but I’d rather not give it any publicity) that is copying the gorgeous dress you see above.
The […]

hearts rainbow dress

Got some guts and need a killer party dress?
I’m in love with this Shrinkle dress. I have absolutely no where to wear it, but I like the girly heart print plus the sexy lace insets.
In my former life I was a little Goth, so I feel like this is something I would love deep down. […]

wedding: kcoline wedding dress

This sweet dress was made by Kcoline for a wedding this spring.
I love the black touch. It’s not morbid to me at all. I’ve been reading about black becoming more acceptable at weddings these days, but I still this a full black wedding dress might be a bit much.
The pretty lace accents add a […]

julie black dress

C’mon, you can fit another black dress in that closet, especially one hand-made just for you.
This one shoulder dress is made by myblackdress, a great etsian who makes lots of simple black dresses for your collection.
I like the one-shoulder look and the ribbon waistband is adorable. Black dresses are something you just can’t have enough […]

tutu tank dress

I was never a ballerina type of little girl. I tended to grow toward rock n rollers and cool strong chicks.
But I do love the ballerina look now that I’m older, especially because it’s simple and delicate. I have been thinking about getting a big puffy skirt. They are not every day practical, but they […]

wpq dress

image: pixie market
California is in the middle of a heat wave. I have spent the past few days on my couch with a fan blowing directly on me.
I need a nice breezy, light dress, like this cute one from WPQ. It’s sheer, so I’d throw a tank dress under it, but it looks perfect […]

One of my wonderful reader’s got the Built By Wendy dress above that I was so enamored with. (remember?)
Marie says the following about it:
Ok the results are in… I was so excited to love this, but it’s a no-go. I’m not a big girl (size 2), and this dress really made […]

stimulus spending: built by wendy dress

image: BBW
The description on this dress by indie sewing maven Built By Wendy says “surprisingly hip-slimming.”
Uhm. I don’t know about that. Lookit all the layers on those hips. The dress is gorgeous, but I seem to think only a non-hipful gal can carry it off.
What do y’all think?
Sizes extra small to medium, in navy and […]

Tie-dye is hot and Love Tanjane has a couple of flirty dresses for you. The one up top is convertible from a skirt to a dress, just by folding down the top […]
