I decided to create the Truly Darling shop to see if I would enjoy starting a vintage/romantic inspired clothing line. Also to see if I could sell some of the things I like to make. I was originally inspired by Rococo and Lolita fashion, as well as Romantic Era style clothing.
A few online shops I look up to are Modcloth and Ruche. These shops taught me what vintage fashion was, and showed me how to modernize the outdated look into things that were romantic, feminine, and wearable. Because I am not a full fledged company, I like to initially hand pick vintage items from stores and sell them "as is." If they don't sell or are too outdated, I will tailor them into something fitted and fashionable.
I am really hoping to expand the business' ability to create size varying products, but for now Truly Darling is mainly a Petite women's boutique. Anyone is allowed to ask for alterations or custom fits, it's all up to what the customer needs!
