A MINI SHADOW of the Past

As some of you may or may not know.....I am a closet designer! Yes, I do have a degree in textiles and did work as a designer in NYC, (designer for someone else though) but I have never really "designed a line". The lure of fabrics, fashion, patterns, and costumes has never been too far from my mind, even when I illustrated all those little girl tea party books I always took way too much time deciding what the girls would wear to tea! Some of my best selling licenced designs were really, to be honest, fashion sketches! And lets not get started on my children's Halloween costumes. The historic replica gowns in silk and the kimono with correct amount of collars and hand dyed layers....I have issues!!

So when my daughter, Ivy, decided to take a fashion class in high school and mentioned that she didn't feel that she was really learning how to sew properly... that just flung the door wide open!!

Together we have formed MINI SHADOW! A line of children's clothing made entirely from up- cycled adult clothing! Men's oxfords, hand-me-down dresses, whatever works! Each piece is one of a kind and hand made by the two of us. I finally get to feed the designer inside and Ivy is getting a sewing education, plus we are really having fun! I am happy to report that Ivy can cut and sew a bodice quite well already!! I will be listing these dresses on my web shop, but in the meantime they can be found at Sea & Green in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

This one is called LEMON DROP

This one is MINTY ROSE

This one is WILD FLOWER

 

This last dress is HAWAIIAN PASSION.
