Aug 4th 2012 :
I absolutely loved my crinoline from Swank Underpinnings!!!! It added the perfect touch of color under my wedding dress and looked fabulous in my wedding pictures. Ann worked with me to customize my crini and find the perfect color. Thanks Swank Underpinnings for helping to make my day special! |

| Question1 : |
What inspired you to start your own petticoat line? |
| Answer : |
It was a complex combination of things, including a frustrated job-search in a failing economy and the consequent desire to strike out on my own instead of wasting more time on résumés and applications. I have always had a passion for sewing and a flair for the theatrical as well as a nostaligic love of fashion and design from by-gone eras, so a petticoat boutique is a natural fit. I love filling a unique, feminine niche in modern women’s fashion. |
|
| Question2 : |
What makes your petticoats unique? |
| Answer : |
Almost all of my petticoats are made to order. That means that my customers can select the colors, style, and fullness that they want and pick out the perfect length to match their skirts and dresses.
All of my custom petticoats are made to measure as well, so the fit is always just right! I realize that petticoats aren’t a garment that most modern women wear all the time, but they can add a lot of fun and femininity to a special outfit, so I love working with women to find the perfect petticoat to help them dress up their favourite frock. |
|
| Question3 : |
What would our members be surprised to know about you? |
| Answer : |
I have an ultra-nerdy side and I’m a not-so-closeted book-worm and academic at heart. Before I opened up my petticoat shop, I was a high school English teacher. I also have a master’s in Irish & Irish-American studies from NYU, and though I wouldn’t say I have the gift of the gab, I can speak a little Irish.
Go raibh céad míle maith agaibh! – “A hundred thousand thank-yous!” – to Tania and the eFashionista team for inviting me to share my work with your members! |
