“Happy Days” Dress

Happy Days ADJUSTABLE STRETCH HALTER TUNIC/DRESS

This fabulously sexy dress is soft, stretchy, comfortable, flowing, and adjustable. It is constructed with and “Empire” shape elastic waistband that flatters the smallest part of a woman’s waist. The top is a halter shape, that has adjustments on the bust, to allow for a size B-D bust. The skirt is “A-Line” shape, and it is very flowing, and flattering for the female body. You can wear this design as a dress, or a tunic top over your favorite premium denim jeans! The back looks like a T-shape, and has a sexy, and flattering shape for the female figure. Wear this in the Summer… or all throughout the year.

* Each of these dresses are one-of-a-kind, and the pattern of the fabric will slightly vary. I assure you, they will be beautifully constructed.*

About the designer in hr words:

In an effort to elevate the importance of individuality in our fashion culture, I pursue my passion for design and creation.

“MODERN ART”, exists in many forms. My creations are considered by some, to be “Wearable Art”.

My diverse collection of garments, are hand-crafted from an array of fine retro-vintage and new fabrics. Cashmere, silk, lace, denim, lycra… are infused to create eye catching fashions.

A creation process that bears clothing that is stunning, and functional for the modern day fashion enthusiast.

Every man and woman should be able to look, and especially “FEEL” their best. This is what I
aim to achieve with every design I create. And with every design I create…I
give to you, a piece of me. My heart, my love, my passion…

About the designer:

I was born and raised in Washington, DC. I followed my heart and my hands to the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD where I studied Fibers and Wearable Sculpture. There, my love of all things cranial was unveiled.

After many interesting adventures, from working in a one room “sweat shop” in NYC, to making one of a kind hats for the runway, I now call San Francisco home.

I hand block and hand trim each hat, with selected materials that are few of a kind or vintage, making each piece couture. Inspired my pieces of discarded history, hunting in alley ways and digging through thrift shops for abandoned souls.
