If like me you are a dress kinda gal, then you are going to love GGMH’s Leopard Print Advertiser for the month of May!
Witchie Stitchie is a brand that creates handmade, one of a kind dresses that are customisable to get your ready for any occasion, from prom to grad ball.
Two of my favourite dresses are The Newspaper Print Dress – How apt I thought for a budding journalist!
Not only is the design unique but it is also super flattering when worn.
And the most figure flattering dress for any dress size or shape..
I took five minutes to chat to Karen the lovely lady behind Witchie Stitchie to find out more about the brand.
H: What inspired you to start ‘Witchie Stitchie?’
K: After being in fashion all my life I thought it was time to step outside my comfort zone and go it alone. I love to wear one-off fashion so that’s why I decided to only make a few of each dress.
The thought of someone wearing the same dress as me is my idea of a nightmare!
H:What was the idea behind the name ‘Witchie Stitchie?’
K: My niece called me Witchie when she was a baby and the name just stuck – now she’s 10 and still calling me it along with most other people. I think of myself as Glinda the good witch – most of the time anyway.
H:Which is your favourite dress to design?
K: The dress I was most excited about making was ‘The Vegas Dress’ because I am a big Elvis fan, sad I know! The Carrieanne Dress’ was fun to design because I was looking for a dress that fits all shapes and sizes and still looks fantastic. It’s such an easy dress to wear, a great holiday dress.
H:What are you working on at the moment?
K:At the moment I am working on one-off belt designs, they will be available mid-late June so watch this space.
H: What is your favourite part of the design process?
K: I love sourcing the material, that’s where I get my inspiration from for the whole design process. I am a perfectionist so I have a real attention to detail and every dress is made with all of my passion and care.
H: What advice would you give to any budding dress designers out there?
K: I know it’s a cliche, but never give up on your dream no matter how long it takes to get there. I am 50 next year and still learning and working towards my dreams. I could design from being very young, but having worked for a large company, I never learnt to sew so that has been a recent adventure.
