Oh how fun this has been, thanks etsy!!
How retro is it to have a garment made in the USA, where 95% of clothing used to be manufactured until the 1960s, and now only 5%? Bringing back the tradition of creating one of a kind sewn garments, I make everything myself in my Hollywood studio. Now's your chance to customize a brand new vintage outfit for yourself.
I've been collecting rockin vintage patterns, buttons, and fabrics for the past 15 yrs to make myself custom clothes as I am way too tall to fit in the originals. To say the least, I have amassed quite a stash.
Now I have a have a justfication for my collecting addiction, I can make tasty custom clothing just for you! You can view my collection of fabrics, buttons, patterns, and finished garment photos on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/nudeedudee/
I am privileged to offer a rare opportunity to have custom-made NEW vintage 30s, 40s, and 50s clothing, carefully constructed in the original fabrics with amazing attention to detail. I respectfully recreate these garments using my very very large stash of original sewing books, patterns and NOS fabrics and buttons. It's fun to create a little flair in your everyday world. I live in LA, the garment capitol of the country, and have access to all kinds of fabrics and trims. I try to source my materials from independent suppliers (on etsy especially) and utilize eco-friendly natural fiber fabrics whenever possible. Beware the sweatshop garments on etsy, they are pervasive. These garments take a LOT of time and effort to construct, I start from scratch and make them just for you! Don't worry, my work is top notch and I'm fast!
