I'm a proud Pittsburgh native, a lifelong seamstress, and an alumna of the Clarissa School of Fashion Design. Sewing runs deep in my family—my mother and grandmother passed down the craft, and at 16, my grandmother gifted me my first Kenmore machine (plus a serger after some persuasive charm!).

​

Though I worked for years as a tailor, I quickly learned alterations definitely weren’t my passion. What truly captivated me were the elegant styles of classic Hollywood and the Sunday-best glamour of my grandmothers—sparking my love for vintage fashion.

​

I began vintage shopping for myself, but the treasures I found outnumbered my closet space. In 2011, I launched an Etsy shop featuring curated vintage apparel, lingerie, men's wear, children’s clothing, and home décor.

 

Frustrated by the lack of flattering vintage apparel for curvier figures, I designed a line of limited-edition, vintage-inspired pieces that celebrate timeless romance and style.

​

My work has been featured in The New Pittsburgh Courier, The Pittsburgh Press, TheRoot.com, KDKA Morning Show, Pittsburgh Fashion Week, and The Boston Bay State Banner.

​

I’d love to help bring your vintage dreams to life.
