Not sure where to stick this link, but I found it inadvertently. Beautiful beautiful (still way too expensive for me) clothing. But it could serve as an inspiration website for people.

That's a great site. I'm making the Cache lace skirt for my date wardrobe. Thanks for the help!

I looked at some of the designer items listed on the resale boutique website and frankly, some of the garments made by the members here seem - to me - to be much more refined and professional looking.

Like this one. I recall seeing some jackets done here (maybe by drsue?) that look so much better.

Just goes to show ya, designer name brand and big bucks doesn't always get you a better garment.

Just my $0.5 (adjusted for inflation.)

Yeah, I agree. I came across a shirt that just looked poorly put together. You'd think they'd at least sew it right if you're paying that much for the thing.

Ya, no kidding. Or at least the site owner should invest in a garment steamer so they don't look like they just arrived out of someone's closet. But then, I'm a perfectionist and as my good friend and I joke, not everyone can be as perfect as we are.
