Summer at the Stone Pony

Hi Loves! I've been absent from the blog for months!

I've gone through a ton of major life changes.

In September I had to leave the studio space I was renting to move to a new one.

On top of that I'm launching a clothing line.

I've been spending every waking moment of my time cutting, sewing, fabric shopping etc.

The new clothing line has taken all my time away from the blog.

But I'm back with brand new posts to share. 

This is one of the first pieces from my clothing line!!!

I fell in love with the abstract geometric print and turned it into a wrap dress.

This is the first of many wrap dresses I'm designing.

Wrap dresses are so chic and flattering aren't they??

You don't have to be model thin to look good in one. 

Also their so comfortable! 

I love how I can throw this on, tie it at the waist,

and I'm good for the day!

I'll be wearing this on the boardwalk and to many outdoor shows at The Stone Pony this summer.

I can't wait to share more looks with you.

Enjoy this gorgeous holiday weekend and wear a pretty dress!!

Lemonade Bliss

For the past few months I've been in the process of putting a Fashion line together.

Its a lot of hard work! 

The design development process takes a while.

Its trial and error in experimenting with fabrics, silhouettes, trends, and the cost of production.

This beautiful maxi dress I have on is from the Heather Eliza line.

Its made from Liberty of London Cotton Poplin.

Liberty of London makes the most incredible prints!

The prints are abstract and colorful. 

I never thought of cotton as being an exciting fabric to wear until I saw Liberty of London cotton.

Its a shame we don't see more Liberty of London prints on the market today!

Its finely woven, and dyed to perfection!

This dress is the most unique color. 

Its not mint,but more of a Lemonade color.

That's why I called it the Lemonade Maxi Dress!

It has a tropical floral print for a garden party,

Island get away,or destination wedding you could wear it to.

The best part about this dress?

 Plenty of fabric and seams for fit and flare!

Summer dresses should have a fair amount of fabric in them for drape.

Its a high end maxi dress that's costly,

 but you'll keep it forever and get so much wear out of it!

I hate throwing clothes in the garbage.

 It pollutes the earth, and wastes our hard earned money.

My goal with the Heather Eliza line,

 is to give you a few beautiful pieces for your closet out of the finest fabrics. 

All of these garments will be manufactured in the USA saving our precious garment industry that's currently hanging on by a thread.

The Heather Eliza website is still under development,but

You can find this dress at shabbybabe.com.

More new pieces from the line will be up on the shabbybabe website next week.
