The Garbologist's Wife and her great Clothes

by Nyssa Rae on December 10, 2009

I scour every handmade source these days to try and find something I want to share. There are a lot of people out there who offer Plus size Clothing, but don’t necessarily specialise in it, or show it on the Plus Size models, which is always what I want to see before agreeing to purchase.

The Garbologist’s Wife has only a few items in her store at the moment, but they are lovely.

Check out the Sweetheart Neck Dress, with Pockets above. It reminds me of a Plus Size Pattern out there for a similar style Dress which I’ll share more on next week.

The also have a lovely Ruby Red Ruffle Dress, that they Custom Make to size which would be great for a Christmas Party… if Christmas hadn’t crept up so fast already!

Nyssa is an eclectic, slapdash crafter, she creates a lot of OOAK pieces because she gets far too bored to remake items! You can follow her crafty endeavours at her Blog. Check out her Clothing Line via her Online Store. And/Or Follow her on Twitter.
