Girl Is Poison's photostream

Hi there! So you want to know about me? Well I'm a music loving, cat obsessed, bookworm with a penchant for vintage clothes and learning new languages. I have a "visual sweet tooth" and love all things feminine and cute. But I do have a darker side and am the type of girl who will wear a vintage dolly dress with a pair of silver studded heels. What can I say? I'm a fan of juxtaposition. I am also a big supporter of indie business. I buy everything I can from clothing to soap handmade.



I started sewing 6 (or 7?) years ago after being inspired by some very talented designers in the indie fashion community. I started selling my clothes on ebay in 2002 under the name Lux Dilemma and built a small customer base there. But then I lost most of it this year when I decided to move to ETSY after I found out that ebay allows the sale of live animals on thier overseas sites. (Click here to learn more.)



I have no formal training. I learned to sew through trial and error and with the help of online tutorials and vintage sewing patterns. Now my clothes are well (dare I say professionally?) made and will outlast anything you buy in a store. I'm a Virgo so, by nature, I'm a perfectionist. I have high standards for my work and will never send a customer an item that doesn't meet them. Ever since I started sewing I knew that it was the only thing I ever wanted to do. I take great pride in my work. So much so that sometimes it's hard to let go of it. So give it a good home will ya?
