What was your inspiration?

Pretty Baby

Inspired by Victorian undergarments this all-white extra-feminine collection is filled with lace, ruffles and ribbons.

As the Summer weather heats up, help temperatures rise in these super-sexy knits.

Let down your hair, throw off your shoes and shimmy your way through those hot Summer days and nights.

What are you most proud of?

Taking a vintage style and updating it, in knitwear!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This has to fit tightly! (But not so tight that it gapes at the openings). You MUST use a firm, stiffish yarn.
