For everyone who's asked if I can make things cheaper, I suppose now you have another option.
This first screenshot was from another much larger mass production designer who posted a video 5 days ago debuting their new fabric. The second photo is mine. It's always frustrating when very small designers put in a tremendous amount of work, thought, and design into something for their idea to be taken, especially by a larger company. This is unfortunately something I see happen to many of my small designer friends, and is something that always makes me very sad. It took me about 8 months to design, manufacture, and create my Rapunzel fabric. Not to mention the thousands of dollars invested into being able to produce it and share it with others in the community.
Although this does feel like a kick in the teeth, I am confident that anyone who has experienced my work will agree that I put tremendous thought into not only the design but the concepts and construction as well. When purchasing my gowns, you can rest assured that you're talking to a real person who has put blood, sweat, and tears into making something that will last and that you can have for years to come. And for anyone who doesn't purchase my gowns (which is totally okay), I'm trying to stay positive that now there is a much more accessible option, even if does feel like it came at my expense.
To everyone who has supported my work over the years, thank you. π from the bottom of my heart I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to me.
