Bamboo and Jersey Wrap Top

image: Sandmaiden
I love Sandmaiden for lingerie, first of all. Their stuff is made in pretty colors and is sexy, yet incredibly comfortable. On top of that, it’s often made with eco-friendly fabrics.
So hurray that there seem to be a few non-boudoir type pieces coming out, like this gorgeous wrap shirt.
It’s a simple shirt that is […]

Super-Soft Print Dress

It’s not quite an Ikat print, but I love the bright blue and pretty tidal print on this dress.
It’s made with unbleached organic cotton that is brushed and brushed until it’s super-soft.
Since it’s custom, it’ll take a few weeks to make, but so worth it.
$245

Recycled: Parachute Dress

I love this parachute dress. It’s looks very summer, but the bodice is made out of recycled corduroy, meaning its warm enough for fall.
The bubble is pretty and the halter top is amazing. Everything that Aiguileetfil makes is totally recycled

Vintage Slip Top

image: claire la faye
Claire La Faye created this converted vintage slip, with amazingly romantic details.
Slips and slip tops are great pieces to keep around for a night look. Some vintage boudoir items I’ve found don’t even need any retooling. I do love what Claire has done with this top. The rhinestones are so pretty and […]

wedding: vintage slipdress

image:image: ktjean
Are you having an unconventional wedding? I have a friend getting married soon and she’s got the hottest little cocktail like dress instead of the conventional long white thing.
This dress is certainly not your average wedding dress. It could probably pass as a party dress even if there’s no ring on your finger.

reconstructed plaid flutter sleeve top

More recycled clothing for you.
Supayana is the designer that won last years Next Big Thing, a great contest run by indie clothiers Fred Flare. Everything produced by supayana is fantastic.
This reconstructed plaid shirt hits my plaid soft spot. The flutter top was a men’s button-up in a former life, but now is a great top […]

fitted recycled jacket

This used to be a tablecloth, can you imagine?
I love the simplicity of the design and it’s the type of jacket you’ll end up wearing over anything. There is a paisley design I cant’ really se in the pictures, but the listing says it’s there.
The lining is recycled too, wit ha vintage sheet, so it’ll […]

upcycled cowboy shirt

Plaid shirts. They are my soft spot, since I embraced the grunge trend as a kid like it was my own creation.
Now, I tend to wear my plaid under tube tops or as a loose J. Crew but cooler look.
This great top is made of recycled plaid cowboy shirts. I don’t know what could be […]
