ComPLEATly Lovely

The unofficial face of Hems & Hers is my precious coworker, and truly, wonderful friend The Supermodel. No, she isn't really a model, but I'm sure if some agent stumbles across this site, they'll sign her up immediately.

While she's the unofficial rep, she was the first official customer, ordering 2 pleated A-line skirts for the summer. She's already modeled the first creation - a smidge-longer-than-knee-length pink & green skirt, and today she's sporting the second one in the office.

I'm not usually a huge fan of florals, but this fabric had just the perfect combination of flowers and whimsy.

I wish I could take credit for how adorable she looks, but really, she rocks it out all on her own!

Sew Ready

Welcome to Hems & Hers. I'm thrilled that you stopped by to check out my new site.

Hems & Hers is completely devoted to the creation of bargain couture... custom pieces, driven by your likes and dislikes. The concept is simple...

1. You tell me what you want made (skirt, dress, etc)
2. I give you options (A-line skirt, pencil skirt, strapless dress, tie-neck dress, etc)
3. You tell me what type of fabric you have in mind (color, pattern, etc)
4. I send you fabric options to choose from. You choose one of those, and I hit the machine, or we go back to the drawing board until we find something that is PERFECT for you.
5. You send me your measurements to insure an ideal fit.
5. I sew and send, you wear and bask in the compliments.

Pricing is easy too... $40 for skirts, and $50-$70 for dresses depending upon complexity and amount of fabric used.

Pricing will be pretty easy... $40 for skirts and $50-$60 for dresses, depending on the pattern difficulty and amount of fabric used. I think the price is fair since you'll get to customize your piece, and you'll know that no one else has it! Below are pictures are some of the items I've made so far...

Ruffle-Neck Dress (this is actually a strapless dress pattern that I added the ruffle to. You can do it either way)
Pleated A-Line Skirt (with or without pockets)
Tie-Neck Dress (with or without grosgrain sash)
V-Strap Dress (mine is made from pique, which makes it sturdier and more voluminous than Little Sister's cotton one)
I'm always working on new styles, so the offerings are ever-expanding.  You can start ordering right NOW (yes, now). To find out more, just leave a comment on this post or email me at polkadotsandproteinbars@gmail.com.
