victorian shirt dress

 i don't know about you, but if i get stuck and loose momentum on a project it can be many months before i pick it up again and finish it.

all the chilly weather we've been having inspired me to finally deal with the collar i was having trouble with, and add the pearl snaps to this figure flattering shirt dress. a prototype for what i hope will become a mainstay of the elzzadoll line.
i designed it after falling in love with the tailoring of the Victorian jacket i made at halloween from a "Truly Victorian" pattern.
 i played with western shirt style cuffs, and plan to add yoke details to future shirt dresses

the maiabella holster

introducing the original maiabella holster!
commissioned by my bestfriend looking for more comfortable 
weight distribution than a purse after a back injury
this 5 pocketed, reversible friend will soon be available to the general public
a comfy way to keep your necessities close at hand at outdoor festivals, night clubs, 
or whenever you don't want a big heavy bag

look for them soon on etsy, or contact me for a custom built bag
