Coming soon!! Actually, many things are happening Coming soon!! Actually, many things are happening so you’ll probably see me around here more, but for now: this dress!! I designed this super comfy, very easy tiered summer number (with pockets, natch). I taught a class with @creativebug to show you how to draft and make one too. June 25th!! That’s when the class drops — so excited! I’ve made five so far and they’re hot weather staples. ☀️☀️☀️☀️ in the meantime, I hope you’ll check out all the amazing classes on @creativebug!
