I am more than happy to do custom sizes. I can make most of my designs fit any body! Just drop me a line. Please be certain of your size when you order, as I cannot accept any returns because it is custom work and for hygienic reasons…I’m sure you understand.

If you see a fabric you like, but would like it in a different style, just ask, as I can mix and match many of the fabrics/trims/styles to create something just for you!

Isn’t that a wonderful idea for a gift – especially for a new bride?  You’d think that custom-made bras would be pricey, but the prices were very reasonable.  Items include panties, bras, and camisoles. Here are a few items that I would like to add to my wish list…

Organic Cotton Sweetspire Camisole
$35

This camisole looks so soft and comfy. It would be perfect for bedtime or layered beneath a sweater. It’s available in sizes extra small through extra large.

Organic Cotton Summersweet Bra
$33

I love the colors used here – sage and brown. This bra would probably work best if your figure was on the petite to average size as the bra does not have an underwire.

Organic Cotton Lily of the Valley Panties
$21

These lace-trimmed panties can be paired with On the Inside’s Star Jasmine camisole. The Summersweet bra can also be made to match.

Peasant-Sleeved Shrug
$70

Do you dread leaving your favorite Summer favorites behind? How about extending the life of those sleeveless tops with this shrug made in an organic cotton/bamboo lycra jersey.  It features a 4-way stretch that grows softer with each and every wash. It’s shown here in a charcoal-gray and black. It also comes in an ivory and lavender, but the ad says you can chose “anything your heart desires,” so convo the seller for additional color choices?

I love the sleeves, the way they hang. It reminds me of playing dress-up as a kid. It appeals to my inner princess. I enjoy clothing that is fun, as well as useful. 

Long Sleeve Hoodie with Thumbholes
$90

I forsee many comfy weekends spent in this adorable organic bamboo/cotton jersey hoodie. It’s shown here in a pink and raspberry stripe, but you can get it in a two-tone red, as well. Convo the seller for additional color choices. The hoodie has a “kanga” pocket and thumbholes at the end of the sleeves. The hood is “roomy” and the edges are serged off all around.

It’s designed with a waist-whittling secret – the hem is slightly longer at the ends, which gives the effect of a smaller waist.

Men’s Baseball Tee
$75

Here’s something for your guy. How about treating him to a handmade, sized to his measurements, tee. It  features an “athletic cut and distressed details.”  It’s made with an organic cotton/bamboo jersey fabric. It’s shown in a white with dusty gray sleeves, but it’s available in “any color combo.” 

The graphic is hand-drawn and you can skip it or use your own illustration idea for your tee.

Here are a few examples of the stylish, eco-friendly apparel……

Corduroy Kimono Dress

$39.95

There’s so much to love about this little kimono dress….

I love the color combo of cocoa brown and a light green, it reminds me of my favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream. This little dress would look adorable over a pair of little leggings. The front button makes dressing baby easy – if you’ve ever tried to dress a squirming baby, then you’ll appreciate this feature. The dress also comes in red and white.

Organic Cotton Tights
$13.95

Here are the perfect leggings….err, tights, I mean to pair  with the dress.

They come in Cloud (I think “Cloud” is white) , Cocoa, and Natural. They are made of an “ultra-soft organic cotton,” and they are priced very reasonably at only $13.95.

Organic Cotton Bundler
$23.95

This little gown features  a “Hum” design. I’m not sure what that is…it sort of resembles bunnies to me. What do you think?Whatever it is, this gown is adorable.

A gown is perfect for new babies – the most convenient outfit to deal with during those middle of the night diaper changes.

Women have a choice of thong, bikini, or boy short. I chose to shop “Print.” I like this pair of boyshorts called 826 National. They are made of 95% organic cotton  and 5% elastane.  They are available in a solid grey or the pattern shown below. You can find out more about the 826 National literacy project here.

Inspired by 826 National, which works to develop young writers, this print almost broke the Fuseproject team. There were 40 versions of the design until finally, it was perfect… only to discover it was unprintable on fabric! Our printers dug deep to ultimately make it happen… for the kids.

826 National
$22

And something for the men…ForestEthics, which benefits ForestEthics.org. These boxers are made of a combination of 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane. Men’s underwear are available in a trunk, boxer brief, or boxer. 

ForestEthics
$25

10% of all sales got to the cause – 826 National, ForestEthics, or Oceana.

The tees, made by Twisted Twee, in the UK, are meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Your baby will not grow up to be a stripper, just because she wears a tassle-print tee as a baby. Sometimes we take things too literally, when really it’s more fun (and healthier)  to laugh and have a sense of humor. Relax. Chances are baby is going to spit up on the shirt anyway.

I like their Daddy/Baby Twinsets. Made with organic cotton, as many of the Twisted Twee products are, this one is meant for the acorn and the tree. 

Oak Tree Twinset

Also cute, these “nappy” covers. Cover baby’s diaper with a retro-print of parasols, so much cooler than bunnies. They are made of 100% organic cotton.

Parasol

This combo is made with organic cotton. They call it “A organic, eco-friendly, hand-crafted locally produced and footprint-reducing homage to the glory of mass producted plastic.”

My girl bridged earlier this year when she joined a group of thousands of other Girl Scouts from around the country with a Bridging walk across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It was a thrilling event for the girls. They handed out handmade keepsakes to the girls they passed on the bridge.

The new Girl Scout catalog came in the mail today and I was excited to see that they’ve included some “green” products for the girls. Some of the products are made with organic materials and all are affordably priced. There’s a tote that appears to be made out of traditional cotton canvas, but it’s reusable and it features phrases like “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” or “Act Now.” The purpose is to promote going green. It measures 16″ by 13″ and would work well for a book bag.

Eco-Friendly Re-Usable Tote Bag
$14

Whatever happens to  missing socks?  Grab  a couple pairs of these low-cut socks for your Girl Scout and save yourself the made rush to find her uniform on meeting day.  They are made of a blend of nylon, combed cotton, spandex and 48% organic cotton.

Organic Socks
$5.50

The Act Now tee is made of 100% organic cotton t-shirt. It features go green phrases like “Act Now,” “Take Action,” “Live Green.”

Threadhead Creations, an Etsy shop, carries the lovely Grace gown. The dress features darts for shaping and a full, flaring skirt. The dress fabric has an imprint of a floral design. The front has a scoop neckline and the back is open, with criss-cross straps that tie. (My favorite part, I love a dress that makes the wearer look like a beautiful present). 

It’s made from blend of hemp and silk (hemp 85% and silk 15%). The dress is lined with 100% silk. The hemp is chemical and pesticide-free. The silk is wild peace silk. Peace silk is gathered in a way that does not bring harm to the moths, so the silk is a vegan material.

This eco-friendly dress is currently available in sizes 2-14 but the seller can also make the dress in sizes 16 and 18.  I love that the dress is full and able to flatter so many different figure types. It’s shown, at the shop website,  worn with a little bolero-type jacket, which is very cute, but I’d wear it without and cover. Imagine how adorable those straps and that bow would look walking down the aisle.
