handmade clothing

Since I can’t really sew more than a pillow (my last attempt at sewing a piece of clothing was a pair of shorts in an "ice cream" colors stripe for my 6th grade home-ec class. The result was absolutely horrifying!) Maybe I should just support great seamstresses and designers instead of attempting it myself. Alyson recently shared her experience working with Shaybelle on a custom dress. The finished product is so darling! I want this blue dress  (I la la la love a tailored bodice and rolled up sleeves) but I want it to be longer to spare the world too much peek at my thighs! (Do these dresses look good longer? I am not sure.) I am drawn to the designs of Wilksten-Made, Uniform Studio, Le Bouton, Ellybeth is super inspiring. Do any of you know of others?
