So let's talk about my new favorite wrap skirt. About three years ago, I made my first wrap skirt and fell in love with how simple it was to make one. However, I wanted to find a pattern that would provide me a little more coverage when sitting down because that split in the middle…
After my long awaited debut of my final pieces for this collection, I wanted to recap the highs and lows of this venture and if this is something I would want to do again in the future. In my previous post where I introduced the idea of starting a collection, I talked about what inspired…
