V. Marie

Hi! Thanks for checking out my shop! My name is Victoria and sewing is my life. I am truly grateful to be doing this full-time and having the opportunity to be a small part of your happy occasions. This really is my dream job and my only regret, is that it took me so long to get started. For the majority of the last 10 years, I've spent my days as a stay at home mom, and had only sewn items for myself, family and friends. In 2014, both of our daughters were in school full-time for a couple years and my husband (and the occasional passer-by) was finally able to persuade me that my products would sell. I nervously took the leap into starting this shop and the rest is history. Without a doubt, my favorite part of this journey has been the feeling of excitement and gratitude I get when I recieve photos from customers, smiling on their happiest occasions, wearing my skirts and accessories. I am so thrilled to be doing what I love everyday!


I describe my style as modern, fresh, colorful and feminine. Every item in this shop is handmade by me, in my home studio (smoke free/ dog friendly). I use only designer fabrics and other high quality materials. I also use a machine serger to give all my clothing a finished, professional look.
I am currently focused on the clothing aspect of my shop, but will be expanding the handmade gift section soon!

Frequently asked questions
Sizing details

Hi! Accurate measurements will ensure a perfectly fitting skirt. Please take the time to measure before packing your order.

I've found a natural or high waisted look to be the most universally flattering:)

WAIST: measure your waist where you want your skirt to sit, either low, mid or high waist.
LENGTH: measure from where you take your waist measurement down your backside to be sure your skirt will provide enough coverge.

The most common mistake in taking measurements is giving a jean size, please follow the guidelines to get the perfect fit.

Do you have more photos of skirts on actual people? :)

Yes! Please check my instagram for more photos of different colors, lengths and styles on models and previous customers: @shopvmarie
Feel free to message if you are looking to see something specific!

Slip vs lining (TULLE SKIRTS ONLY)

I offer two styles of tulle skirts, one with an attached satin lining and waistband and the other more popular ALL tulle with an OPTIONAL satin slip to be worn underneath.
Both styles are similar, the main difference being that the first style (with attached lining) is less voluminous than the second style. Please contact me with any questions! :)

Is the sash included?

Some chiffon and georgette skirts are shown with a sash. It is not included it is $12 and can be purchased here:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/481424983/matching-sash

Sashes are not available for tulle skirts.

Additional measuring tips?

Most find a high or natural waist look to be most flattering, I recommend wearing at the smallest part of the waist.

Please take the total length measurement from where the waist is taken.

Don't forget to take into account shoes!

Message me with questions or concerns:)

BRIDAL PARTY TIPS!!

1) Please order swatches to ensure color choice appears the same in person as it does on screen. Chiffon and georgette swatches are $0.75 cents and tulle swatches are $1.25.

2) Once color choice is confirmed, please request a RESERVED listing.
I will require the following information, color, material, and number of bridesmaids. If chiffon or georgette skirts are selected I will also need to know if the sash will be required or left optional. This step will drastically reduce the occurrence of someone ordering the wrong skirt.

3) Please allow for 6-8 weeks production time for large parties. Most of the time normal production speed will apply (4-6 weeks), but its always best to have some wiggle room:)
