Now, i know these aren't the most glamorous photos in the world - but let me introduce you to my dresses! I'm feeling a little bit proud right now. So much hard work went into getting these prototypes done - but i'm ultimately excited to keep doing this and hopefully sewing some dresses or skirts for you dear readers in the near future.
(Simply send me a message if you would like to order one! caitlin.shhh@hotmail.com.)
Textile design and sewing by yours truly.
(Oh, and i must add - i accidentally didn’t order enough fabric, so that’s why the print on the last two skirts finish early and theres a white gap. whoops! Won’t be making that mistake again.)
Oh my goodness! I want! I want! Your designs translate so well onto these beauties, I can only imagine the styling possibilities!

Thankyou Solanah! i might drop dead upon seeing you wearing one of my dresses! what a dream.
DeleteDo you know about when they'll be available? Gotta save my pennies ;)
Deletei'm still in the initial stages of setting up - but i think i'll be officially listing them for sale in my etsy shop by the end of may.
Deletemaybe earlier?
DeleteOh that's soon! Thanks for the estimate :)
DeleteThey are beautiful! I LOVE THE CAKE ONE! How much are they?? x
ReplyDeleteThankyou Kit! I haven't come up with a price list yet - but i'm thinking around $100-$150. not really sure.
DeleteThey are so beautiful! Really love the sweets one.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Ms Dee! I imagine it would look very cute paired with your pink hair.
Deletethe biscuits dress is SO beautiful. such a lovely shape with the sleeves and slightly fuller skirt. your art looks great as fabric! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Ailsa. My plan is to get all the other dresses in a similar shape - i just didn't order enough fabric for the prototypes. whoops!
DeleteOh my gosh! I want one IMMEDIATELY! The cuts are so lovely - and I adore the sweetheart neckline on the swan dress. The dessert/biscuts one is my favorite though. Great work!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if/when you do start selling them! Though hopefully if you start selling them you'll have enough fabric to make one that's a little longer for lil' ol' 5'10.5" me or else my butt might hang out a bit...
Thanks Elizabeth - will be sure to let you know! The skirt lengths won't be overly short on the dresses, so i think you'll be okay!
DeleteOh my, I can't wait! I better start saving now, I can't imagine NOT having one of those pretty things!
ReplyDeleteOh wow they are gorgeous, definitely need to put some money aside! xx
ReplyDeleteWow. Definitely keeping my eyes peeled for when you list the eye dress x
ReplyDeleteI will definitely purchase one when you put them on sale. The pastries dress is absolutely perfect! Amazing work Caitlin x
ReplyDeleteOh, wow... the second (eyes), fifth (baked goods), and seventh (dots) are amazing!
ReplyDeleteCaitlin...these are AHHHMMMAZZZZING!!! They literally have made me gobsmacked. Such beautiful and delicate designs. i was in love with your karla spetic stuff and am so glad you are pursuing your own line now. :D You inspire me.
ReplyDeletewow-wee! well done Caitlin :) im proud of you too. You are an inspiration to me(in your art as well as these beautiful fabrics and dresses you've made!!) since I want to get going on a similar project. Don't give up on this project!! <3
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS! will be refreshing your etsy every hour
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to get a hold of your blazer and dress with Karla Spetic x
oh caitlin, these are amazing!
ReplyDeletesoo lovely! i love them all!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! These are beyond amazing! I need the cake/biscuit one in my life ASAP. I'll definitely buy one when I have the money (which is probably when I sell nearly everything I own on ebay lol) xx
ReplyDeleteoh wow, these are amazing! I'd love one of each :D
ReplyDeleteFab designs, loving your cosmetics dress and biscuit design x
ReplyDeletewow these are just STUNNING!!! can i have all of them? >.<
ReplyDeleteespecially love the floral one!
your prints are amazing! these silhouettes are so classic and im in love with the girls print. that on the biscuit dress silhouette = dream dress!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God.
ReplyDeleteI am 100% saving my pennies for one of these! The biscuit one, the polka dot one! Ugh! I would be so happy in one of these dresses! Amazing!
ReplyDeletecupcake dress and lipstick dress - aaaiieeeeee I want both!!!
ReplyDeleteI kept wanting to tell you on Tumblr that these are all so beautiful! I am absolutely positively not allowed to spend money until my trip to Canada, unfortunately, but I shall have to tell everyone else to buy one when you start selling so I can live vicariously. I think you've done a great job. :)

I'm in love with the biscuit print Caitlin, your a very clever lady!
ReplyDeleteWould you consider selling the fabric by the meter?
Best of luck,
Nadia x
Nadia, WOW, thankyou! I'm such a fan of yours!
Deleteyes, i do have plans to release fabric by the yard - hopefully by mid year..
If you ever wanted to collaborate on something for Nadinoo i'd be super chuffed. :)
These are lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, yay! SO beautiful! The swans are especially beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteThese dresses are absolutely gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm quite new here (I haven't even started blogging yet). I just wanted to say that these dresses are adorable because of the simplicity of cut and uniqueness of the fabric. I like the biscuits and eye-patterned the most, but they all look amazing. I hope to see more in the near future!
ReplyDeleteAlready yours, Julia
these are darling! so amazing! super impressed that you designed AND sewed them. yeah, girl!
ReplyDeleteamazing! i love these. your drawings/designs work so well as pretty dresses. congrats x
