I’m back and I brought stuff!

I’m not even going to get into in. What a total mess the last two years have been. We got hit with covid twice, a stomach virus that landed one kid in hospital… It’s just been… bad… and as my kids got back to their places I really struggled getting back in the groove of things.

I spent the years prior to my maternity leave in 2019 up to my ears in lingerie orders. Having released virtually nothing new since 2018, my shop has been stale… I felt stale… I didn’t even know how to restart again.

Things are slower these days, though I’m looking at it as an opportunity to delve into some of the projects I started over the years but never finished… and there are alot.

I also did some reflecting and thought about my “roots” and the things that I love about fashion, and specifically lingerie. I love that it can be this pretty, or racy, or elegant base that no one else but you has to know about. It’s something that’s close to you and (can be) just for you.

I was thinking a while ago about the fashion I loved when I was a teenager. I loved thrifting, history, art… those were things that really defined my style, and I like to think still are a big part of how I like to dress. I love to wear an outfit that harkens back to another time. I kind of like living in a bit of a daydream.

So, when I was designing fabrics for my latest release I relied heavily on concepts that I loved in my youth, and that I think remain a staple to this day…. specifically Toile de Jouy, cherubs, and of course, flowers.

I still have some more made to order pieces to photograph, but I wanted to share with you what I’ve done so far! As always, I designed pieces that I want to wear. I am my own target audience. These pieces are comfortable and light, but also little works of art.

I’d love to hear what you think and if you have a favourite piece! You can view the entire collection on Etsy.
