Paper Bag Waist Skirt and Pleated Top

,but I still wanted to shoot my sister in it so you could see it better.

Here is my paper bag waist skirt and Peach Pleated Top.

The top is a peachy pink vegetable dyed  cotton by Vera Wang. It’s, hand down, one of my favorite fabrics that I’ve worked with.  I did this pleats down the front and the neckline with some fold over detailing, then some buttons.

The top V’s in the back and has a small, slimming closure.

The skirt is a super soft yarn died linen with a paper bag waist and black cotton tie and with the same black cotton detailing at the bottom.

It also has pockets.

This skirt is the best! I wear it all the time and its fashionable and comfortable.

Love her in this shot.

Here’s where you can help me out again!!

Your feedback means a lot to me and I’d love to hear any thoughts about either pieces or the shoot, in general.  Also, would either of these pieces be somehting you’d buy or want to see in the etsy store?

Please take a moment and let me know your thoughts! It really helps me out!

New to the Store

I’ve begun adding my new T-shirt to my Etsy Store. Here’s a preview…

This one is a white on white shirt. For those of you that know me by know, you know it’s one of my favorite looks.

This one is a hand dyed, gunmetal grey with lots of great details.

This pink shirt has asymmetrical sailor striped pleats.

Go check out more pictures of them and stay tuned for lots more to come.

And just to keep you on your toes, here’s a teaser for a great tutorial I’m finishing up for this AMAZING clutch.

I’m in pleat heaven

I started by making a simple shift top…
Then I spent a long time making a lot of pleats.

This is how the top came out. The ruffles go all the way around the collar.

The waistband. I even like the orange stitching on it.
