First in Best Dressed!!

Hello ladies! And gents, if there are any who read this (say hi, let me know!)...

I have spent the day taking pictures of new fabrics, and I have just spent this evening uploading them to my blog! Yippee!! Follow the link to see what is new!

http://naughtyshorts.blogspot.com/2011/01/vintage-fabrics-for-custom-tea-dresses.html

I have had to list a select few fabrics as "premium" at an extra $10.00 per dress (75.00 each) simply due to the amount that I had to pay for them - BUT TRUST ME, they are totally 100% worth every cent!! Truly divine and scrumptious - I am just trying to decide which ones to keep for myself!!

REMEMBER - If you are ordering a dress, please still choose your fabrics from this link - http://naughtyshorts.blogspot.com/2011/01/vintage-fabrics-for-custom-tea-dresses.html

I am so happy to report that I am extremely busy!! And the feedback I have been receiving has been just amazing. It makes me so happy - thanks guys - no crazy bridezilla's in my world, no way!

Well have fun looking and keep an eye out at the news agency for FRANKIE MAGAZINE - Due to hit the shelves on Wednesday, there might be a little somethin' somethin ' in there about a certain little naughty... maybe... we will see :)

MWAH!!!!

My HUGE weekend in lovely Fremantle...

  Oh my, what a weekend! I am truly knackered as I finally take 5 to recap a very successful  and inspiring trip to the seaside town of Fremantle.

Zavian and I made the trip to spend the weekend with Levi while he is staying in town to complete some training for his new job. Along the way I found some of the best op-shopping EVER! and I met a few ladies who are living the dream with there very own successful vintage/handmade dress shops!! Woop whoop - it was great to see and I would love to share, so here goes it...

First up there was Broken Doll Vintage, located in the Atwell arcade - this sassy seamstress has her sewing machine in store at the ready to tailor any of her own designs or vintage garments especially to fit you while you wait! Its a great shop crammed full of precious knick knacks and eye candy galore.

Amongst the Saturday town square markets was a lovely young miss with her spunky stall, The Ginger Fox . She imports all of her vintage from secret suppliers in Japan and the USA. Her prices are great, I picked up the bestest little shirt dress, with awesome print and retro buttons. This business savvy miss does have her own website and the best part is she only charges $2 a piece for postage AND she lets you change your mind that 70's dress doesn't turn out to be what you thought.

And finally.... Granny squares!! I know I bang on about it a bit but you know I have wanted one of these for ages. When I saw it I knew that it was THE ONE!

I bought this from a gorgeous shop in the Freo Markets called Anjel Ms - The lovely lady who runs the show, Gaelle Beech, has a fair trade arrangement with a family in Bali who hand crochets these blankets. They are probably the nicest I have ever seen. You can have them custom made if you contact her on anjelms@anjelms.com

I also found an abundance of new fabrics - some are so beautiful I may not be able to part with them! I have some serious fabric stack photos to take - coming soon, promise!

Gotta go to bed xoxoxox

snapped at work...

Thank you lovely Auntie Elle for the use of your camera, and for taking that very cute snap of miss Z watching me work.

You are a doll! xo

Today...

Just a quick update on what I'm working on today... Sorry no pictures, my camera is BROKEN!

# dress with POCKETS! yay!!
# larger sizes, hopefully up to an Australian 20...
# cleaning, yuck! rent inspection on Wednesday, Damn!
# maternity dress pattern, because I can not wait to see a pregnant belly wrapped up in one of my designs!

So If I have had to turn your order away lately, due to sizes and the like, hopefully I will be able to help you soon.

In other news, I have broken 4 needles in the last 2 days! Shit!! must remember to buy more or we will all be out of luck in the next few weeks.

Thanks to all of the lovely ladies who have been purchasing my dresses! Your support is so very appreciated MUCH LOVE XOXoxoxoxox

Now, off to work I go! Ciao!

Hope you have an awesome day! Don't drink too much, stay in the shade, don't be an asshole! What am i doing today? I want to sew and listen to the hottest 100 in my studio.... we will see.

With much love and a little bit of national pride, MWAH!
