I'd like to think that in a different life, I would be something fabulous like a can-can dancer. Then I might actually have some use for something so darling as a petticoat :) The one below is titled "Silk Creme Fouettee Petticoat" from It's Okay My Dear's etsy shop -- doesn't the title just make you want to eat it.
etsy, shopping/fashion I now have a medium shade of grey in 100% cotton fabric as an option for the new party skirt.
I've decided to start making my party skirt in a more affordable, 100% cotton fabric. But because there is only one of me and so many different sizes to make, I'm now taking orders with the following options:
a) Fabric Colors: blue, plum, and black
The fabric is a pre-washed 100% cotton making it soft enough for winter and light enough for summer. It will be fully gathered at the waist with the capability of twirling :) Most importantly, it will have pockets!
b) Pom Applique
There are two options for the decorative pom: same color pinwheel poms or contrasting frayed edge poms.
c) Size
The sizing has been measured to be worn as waist level. Since it is a fully gathered skirt, the waist is the only specific fit. All skirts measure approximately 19inches from top of waistband to bottom of hem.
Pricing: All skirts are made to order and will sale for $72 w/ free shipping.
Holidays: If you'd like to have your skirt in time for the holidays, last day to order is Dec 12th to allow for production and shipping.
If you are interested, feel free to contact me through my blog or through etsy.

Geez...less than two months until the holidays...where did 2009 go? Better go ahead and stock up on holiday supplies -- love these simple holiday tags from bklynstitch and they look perfect on a craft paper wrapped package.
etsy, holiday, paper/letterpress Last year I made this dress. I never quite enjoyed the fit of it and yesterday while I was going through my closet, I got the idea to re-fashion it. I cut off the top of the dress, serged a rolled hem on the top raw edge, and added a black cotton band of fabric at the bottom. Ta-da! It's terribly cute but as I assessed the mound of skirts I already have, I decided that I could stand to part with it and have decided to sell it in my shop.
It's a size small with an elastic waste -- the main fabric is a black/white seer-sucker weave and like I said, the black section is a cotton. It's super comfy and I could see it going easily between seasons. Check it out here.
I never mentioned the pleated denim skirt I added to my shop awhile back. It's made with a stretch denim and has a pintucked pleated detail on the front. It also zips from behind and is a size 2. Check it out here.
And then I have one more Party Skirt in a size 6 at sale price. Check it out here.
etsy, my work, shopping/fashion I've added a few sterling silver necklaces to my shop. So go ahead, head on over...
If you'd like a necklace in a different color...I do custom orders for the same price so feel free to contact me.
