OverDressed for Life

Custom-made skirt by Theresa LaQuey.

I decided earlier this year to add some custom-made classics to my wardrobe. Since I’m petite, of short stature with narrow shoulders, I have a very hard time finding clothes that fit properly.

I realised that custom-made offers the quality of designer without the high price tag. Sure it costs more than off-the-rack at the local box store, but it’s also going to last longer and fit better.

Here we have my first custom-made skirt done to perfection by Theresa LaQuey – an a-line plaid skirt which pops with fringe along the plaid pattern. The fabric was among a batch my mother had from 30 years ago. 

 The best part? No one else has anything like this.
