The Shirt Skirt

I’m so excited to post about this! When I met Dana, I fell in love with the skirt she was wearing. She made it herself (obviously) and she showed us how simply she’d shirred the waistband. The next day, during the mystery workshop at Whipstitch, we were encouraged to use thrifted tees. I’m devastatingly terrified of knits so I steered clear and made my (award winning) cotton fabric dress. But I was inspired. I developed…

Not only did I not get sales, but hardly anyone looked at them. 4 months went by with nothing, so I let the listings expire and abandoned my store. On a whim this time around, I put 2 back in just to see what would happen. The response has…
