Nancy Black PVC Lace-Up Skirt

Happy Halloween! I think we all need a treat.

Outift one is made of deadstock PVC, inspired by PVC loving Nancy from The Craft. A true icon of my life. The skirt is our lace-up midi style skirt. Please note that the eyelets in the image are silver but yours will be BRASS as they're more sturdy (silver upon request). Tied with satin ribbons made from recyled plastics.

These garments are made to order so please allow around 2-4 weeks for your item to arrive. If you are new to Made-to-order clothing, it is a far more sustainable way to make new clothes as it means I am not making surplus that could end up un-sold! Each item is made exactly for you to your measurements, so they're really special pieces to last a lifetime.

Skirts are sized simply by your waist in inches, and should fit true to size. The hip measurement is 10" wider than the waist. Eg Waist 28", Hip 38"

Any additional measurements you would like taken into account, just add it to your order notes and we can accomodate.

For reference the model is 5'8 and wears a UK 8, they are wearing a waist 24"
Keeping this brand as eco-friendly as possible is so important to what I am doing. Creating new beautiful clothes with waste fabrics is how I started but that is not all that goes into a garment. Here's some other things we do to run as sustainibly as possible:

Deadstock and remnant fabrics for the outer and lining of the garments, these are either surplus materials from other brands, found materials from charity shops, eBay etc, or my personal remnants from other projects.

Recycled plastic bottle ribbons to lace up the corsets

Recycled polyester thread to sew the garments

If any interfacing is used this is also made from recycled polyester.

Postage bags: I reuse all bags that come into house! This may mean that what is delivered to you comes in a reused bag, but what is inside is all shiny and new. Any new postage bags that come in are cardboard and are therefore totally recycleable. The same goes for the tissue paper that the clothes are wrapped in, it is either reused from something I've ordered, or is made from recycled materials.

Everything is sewn by me in my house!

Of course we are not perfect! I still buy new bias binding, eyelets (metal and therefore could me melted down to be reused one day) sometimes lining fabrics are new, etc. But we are doing the best we can, and I hope to keep the effects of this brand minimal on the environment in the long run.
