Skirt heaven

I heard a rumour a while back about Clothkits relaunching and had a moment of fond nostalgia for my turquoise pinafore dress which I adored when I was about 6. I was prompted to go and have a look at the new stuff by a post on All Things Considered this evening. Oh my. I thought the kids stuff looked good. Then I spotted the words Rob Ryan (who’s work I love) and there was a match made in skirt heaven. A Rob Ryan-designed Clothkits skirt for grown ups. Almost sheer perfection (sheer perfection would be if it was printed on organic cotton). I want to design for Clothkits now. Should we start a campaign?

    Not sure if comments are moderated or mine got lost in the ether…That skirt is unspeakably awesome!!! So is the other adult one. Unfortunately not in my size 🙂 You could probably do something similar with Spoonflower when they’re up and running. I know you can design up to like 44″ wide by however long you want. I’m really curious to see how the custom fabric printing is going to come out. http://www.spoonflower.com/http://blog.spoonflower.com/

    Oh, yes! That’s fabulous!(Hello, by the way! I found your blog whilst searching for a thread holder, and stayed to read the whole thing.) 🙂

    You could enter the competition on the Clothkits website, and you might end up with your design on a skirt.

    I think I remember that turquoise pinafore dress – I do believe I was the one who assembled it. So glad you liked it enough to remember it still!
