5 out of 5 starsAfter I ordered I contacted Wanda because I thought it wouldn’t arrive on time. She assured me that it would. And would not need express shipping. Why I decided to try on the dress with a full stomach is beyond me. It fits great with a full belly. 🤣 I am 100% pleased with my order and I look forward to wearing it to a 90’s themed party.

5 out of 5 starsI love it so much!! I'm a bit too busty for my size so there's danger of falling out of the stretchy fabric, but other then that it fits perfectly! Can't wait to wear it out (once i find a bra that works) lol

5 out of 5 starsThis dress was perfect. The quality was great, which is hard to find in plus size. Wanda was so gracious to not only add a little length to the dress, but ship it fast so I could have by my 30th birthday. Absolutely worth the price!

5 out of 5 starsI bought this dress for my daughter who turned 30. The theme of her party was 13 going on 30. She absolutely loved her dress and said she will wear it again. It’s a great party dress and fit was very figure flattering. Wanda was great as I decided last minute that this would be her birthday present She made sure it reached us in time. Quality workmanship and this is coming from a person who knows how to sew.

Let your inner Star shine thru!
Ever since I was a child I loved anything that had to do with dance or pop culture. Art class was always my favorite class in grammar school and I either was going to grow up to become a Solid Gold dancer or a famous rock star like Lita Ford! Obviously none of that happened lol.. God had a different plan for my life. Long story short; I had to get surgery at 17 years old and was bedridden for 6 months bored and depressed until I got a hold of my first fashion magazine and I became obsessed with Versace and the fashion world. As soon I was able to walk again I decided to go to school for fashion and get my degree in Fashion Design. In 2000, I was hired to design and create dance costumes and in 2001 I was hired to design and create a pair of pants for Steven Tyler of Aerosmith! So even though my dream of becoming a dancer or a famous rock star hadn't come true, I was now designing for dancers and rock stars which was even better!
In 2014, I was laid off from my full time job of 8.5 years at a scenery design company in Chicago so I decided to start my Etsy shop selling what I do best which is creating dance and pop star inspired costumes. I love dancing and dressing up especially dressing up for Halloween and now I would love to share that passion with you whether you are a professional dancer or artist looking to wear something special on stage or an everyday person like me that loves to play dress up whether it's for Halloween, Mardi Gras or whatever special event you have to attend :)
Everything is handmade by yours truly in my design studio but when it gets a bit overwhelming I have to 2 special ladies that come in and help me cut and sew.
I am really excited to have started this shop and I look forward to dressing you and making your inner star dreams come true
XOXO
Wanda
