All packed up and well on our way driving to Salem today for the @salemnightfaire tomorrow. @voodooodolly and I are excited to reunite with @thorns_clothing and all the other lovely vendors. All of the vendors who were set to appear on Saturday will be there Friday! The Saturday market has been canceled because of the weather forecast.

Surprisingly @juniper_witch and I don’t have that many photos together but @11milebay totally captured us here. I love it so much!

Finishing up final touches for tonight’s shop update at 8pm est and the Salome pre-order launch!
The ready made pieces for this update are black linen Göndul dresses!
The Salome pre-order opens at 8pm est tonight and closes Monday the 16th at 8pm est. I’m so excited about the new colors! (Swipe to see them) there is a 3 month lead time for these pieces, but I will begin shipping as soon as my seamstress and I finish them!
The Black and White tops will be made in the same lightweight linen and the new colors will be slightly heavier and more opaque.
The preorder will be listed in the Etsy shop as well. Quick reminder that the Etsy shop is for UK orders only. If you live anywhere else the I Do Declare webshop is for you! There is a size chart available on the website all the way at the bottom of the page.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
I hope you all had a lovely Friday the 13th!

Hello everyone! I’m back home from my trip to visit my family and working on the shop update for this Saturday!! This will be smaller as far as readymade pieces go. However we will have a preorder for the Salome Croptops with three of the new colors! Blood red and Dried Lavender were by far the most popular options in the polls I posted, but I just adore green! So Old Glass will be joining the bunch. These will be made to order and available in the full size range. Production is going to be all local, with each piece made by either me or my lovely seamstress @suddenlypants I want to avoid any extra delays caused by covid. The preorder will be open from Saturday the 14th through Monday the 16th at 8pm@est and the lead time is three months. So please take that into consideration! That means delivery mid to late November.
.

I am also working on some exclusive items to bring to the @darksomecraftmkt in Philadelphia on the weekend of October 23! I’ll be teasing those in my stories as I get pieces finished! @voodooodolly and I can’t wait to see all of you gorgeous East coat humans!
.

Anyway here I am- enjoying the views at the Builtmore estate. Beware bougoise scum! My peasant boots have invaded your halls!!

Getting ready for tomorrow’s update at 8pm est!
There will be white linen and a handful of one of a kind pieces available!
.
.
.
Because of the new EU VAT rules I will have to stop shipping to the EU via my webshop for this update. I am hoping to be able to move more pieces over to the Etsy shop for EU and UK customers. I’m sorry this is so inconvenient. Please bear with me while I sort out the best way for IDD to manage these changes!

And when they were met they put off their helms and kissed together, and wept for joy and pity.

Another reminder that the update has been pushed back to April 30th! I’m hoping to be able to add a few extra pieces as a result! I’m loving seeing everyone photos in their new Bise dresses so much. I will be adding more of those to the shop in the coming months, and hopefully a round of sleeveless ones for summer!

Can I tell you how much I value all my creative friends? People working to make things despite how much the world keeps trying to force them down, but also people supporting and encouraging anyone making art. I’m so glad to live in a time when it’s easier than ever to share things and get excited about making things with other people.

I’m working on new pieces for the shop update later this month and I’ll be doing my best to share sneak peeks as I finish pieces. Once all the Bise dresses arrive at their new homes I’ll be posting any of the extra pieces we finished up for sale!

Tear up that funeral shroud—you are going to smother yourself in it.

All set for tonight’s update to go live at 8pm est! This little carousel also shows off some of the pieces that will be in the spring line. The Clifford blouse is making a return in white handkerchief linen with lace inserts. I’ll also be introducing the Lister vest, a cropped style that of course takes inspiration from Anne Lister’s style and regency era men’s vests! The Adelaide Velvet croptops will be limited in this release but I hope to bring them back in quality in a future line!

Additionally a few weeks ago I posted in my stories asking if anyone wanted to see some daily outfits. I challenge myself to put on a look everyday. I have a closet full of clothes I adore so I better wear them! I decided to share looks here weekly-ish in a little carousel post. That way I can share the love for other small businesses and some of my favorite local thrift and antique shops!

The next update is scheduled for tomorrow at 8pm est! It will have the Gruoch skirts in black and crimson, the new Adelaide stretch velvet croptops and a few Salome linen croptops. Again this is a slightly smaller update but I’m working toward a really fa spring line! The Cuirass corsets are coming soon! I just got the patterns back from @digit_patterns who graded them into all of my sizes. Expect to see the first round of those in the shop in March!

So excited to be part of the @friendshipflea Tomorrow at 6-10 pm here in Columbus OH at 400 West Rich on Lucas Street. It’s going to be lovely to be alongside other local queer artists and makers! If you’re in town stop by to say hello and maybe pick up a Valentine’s Day treat! I’ll be bringing a few crimson pieces made just for this event! I’ll also be bringing a small selection of my collection of antique garments. There is such a variety of vendors participating there will be something for everyone!

This beautiful photo set was organized and shot by @lizabetroberts I’m always so happy when I get to contribute to her fantastic visions. This brought to mind so many memories of cozy times around a campfire with friends.

Do you ever think to yourself “I think it’s time to rearrange my entire studio and house.”
.
So that’s what I’ve been up to for the last few days. The temperature here has plummeted with a high of 13°f (-10°c) so my focus has turned a bit inward. I’m finishing up samples for the spring collection and sending the patterns off to be graded into all the sizes. I’m really looking forward to warmer weather and launching this new round of separates! I took stock of all of the pieces I reach for the most in my own closest and decided to focus on making those. I’ll be sharing previews in my stories as I get them done!

I’ll be adding another handful of the Hel dresses to the shop in the coming days. The next update will be in February and will finally include some of the armor pieces! I hope you’re all as excited as I am about them! I’ve had the best time getting all the pattering just right and picking the materials for these. I’ll also be adding a few one of a kind styles around d the same time.

The Preorder for the Black Linen Bise dresses is still going on on the webshop and on the UK only Etsy.
I realized this morning that because of the way I set up the UK listing it marked it as sold out prematurely. So that’s fixed now! And I’ve added the skirt length and the bicep measurements to the listings so anyone who was unsure about sizing can check those! If you have questions about anything else feel free to email me! I’m doing my best to answer everyone as quickly as I can!
.
.
Thank you all so much for all of the support! I’m always so grateful to be able to do this full time. I am planning a smaller shop update for just before the holidays. It will be mostly one of a kind pieces as I work through my fabric hoard to be able to make space for new materials! Let me know what sizes you’d like to see most for Ooak pieces!
