Sloper
Blue Confetti Knit Top + Cream Selvedge Culottes
I’m so excited about this new top! It’s self drafted off my knit sloper with the shoulder seam pushed to the back in a curved inset. I love how regency dresses had the shoulder seams pushed to the back bodice and I wanted to create a more modern adaptation of that idea. This is my…
Sacre Bleu Knit Dress

I love how this color highlights my big blue eyes, which…
