I first discovered Katie-Louise Ford in the fantastic Australian magazine, Frankie (more about the wonderfulness of Frankie later). Katie-Louise Ford lives in Melbourne, and specialises in handmade women's clothing. She has a very successful store on Etsy, and is such a wonderful and accommodating seller. She is open to suggestions and alterations to styles, and the quality of her products are excellent. She specialises in amazing dresses, and those with peter-pan collars are to die for :) She also makes shirts, which are equally stunning. You can choose your fabric, and sometimes she finds the most gorgeous and quirky vintage material. These items of clothing are custom made, so she makes them according to your own measurements!
Currently, I own a high-necked, short-sleeved, full circle dress in an adorable black cotton gingham. When I open my wardrobe, I always jump to that piece of clothing, even if it is freezing and only 10 degrees. I just feel so...awesome in it!
Right now she is in the U.S. traveling and is keeping a journal of her travels on her blog
here. I am waiting for the news when she will be able to take orders. I'm already drawing sketches to give to Katie as some ideas for dresses. It will be a long wait... :)
