Cuba bound - The slim tight tube for travels & bikini & passport.......







Mexicana: tailored 20's tablecloth






Found thrifting in Topanga Canyon, LA this gorgeous 1920's table cloth had no place on the floor.....but wears well as a stunning balero jacket with custom made charmeuse midnight blue separate slip-tie top for inside.

My youngest client - purchase then alter.....again and again!


Strike a pose Radley.......please!? My youngest client, whose Mama lives through eco motivations too. Buy the suit too big and alter to fit.....again and again and again! It'll be a long time until he grows out of this one......all the seam allowances are left inside, uncut! It can be let out again at least 4 sizes....
