finally, a proper update on this whole skirt situation. i really appreciate everyone's patience with me. i know i promised skirts sooner, but it's been kind of crazy lately.
i decided that it would be way too hectic and unmanageable to do the skirt orders as a first-come-first-serve e-mail basis, so i've decided to set up an Etsy shop. it's still under construction and no skirts have been listed as of yet, but i will update it either tonight or tomorrow morning with a couple of skirts.
http://childhoodflames.etsy.com
my goal is to update once a week with about 3-5 new skirts. we'll see how it goes from there. let me know what you'd like to see in the store. larger sizes? longer hemlines? more colors? i'm not planning on doing custom orders, but if you let me know, i can try to accomodate your request.
also, i've decided (at least for now) to only ship within the US. sorry international readers! :(

awesome! :)
Why do people correct grammatical errors. But i was hoping you would add me to your daily reads and i'm adding you to mine.
yay how exciting!! I definitely want a hot pink or red miu miu-esque mini!! but please do a bit larger sizes (im a 6-8) too. thanks!!
AHHH! This is so exciting, I've seen your skirts on a couple of blogs, and they are just SO ADORABLE :)
(Cries)no international shipping ;(
ahh! i'm really excited! how much do you plan on charging?... then again i'll probably know by tonight. ;D
wow, congrats! i'll have to pass since i'm not in the u.s., but i'll definitely take a look! lots of success!
aww i wish my skirt had a tag :( poo
lol
congratulations and good luck with your skirt making i'm super excited to see bloggers start wearing them!
wow what a cool idea!! :) i'm not in the US either but I will also take a looksie.
oh and sorry, but i havent been reading this blog for long. maybe 1-2 months. which skirts did you promise? (just wonderin..)
thank you thank you!
Camille-
you may want to check into accepting Paypal via Etsy...it's quite easy and then you don't have to deal with checks and money orders(waiting for them to clear/pulling a skirt from your listings that never does get paid)Good luck with your business venture--we can all say "we knew her when..."
those tags are adorable!! i want to write my name with a sewing machine! haha
yes!! Your skirts are gorg, and I am awful at sewing so I can't make them myself. I will def. buy one! I am a small (0,2). Circle puffy skirts would be great- colors: black, camel, army, print colors. Just some suggestions!
I can't wait :):)
great job with starting up the etsy store! i wish you would ship to australia!
How exciting! I can't wait to see your creations. I absolutely love the stitched labels/swatches in the photo.
i will definitely be purchasing a skirt from you. :)
Dearest Camille!
I cannot wait until you ship internationally! I have been wanting to make a version of your skirt since forever! Once you decide to ship international, make sure you include Australia :)
I'll DEFINITELY buy one from you
ps, you're my fave blogger, really :)
hey camille, i'm intersted in a skirt as well. i wonder what part of oregon do you live in ? i live in oregon too! =)
Too bad that you don't ship internationally.;)
ohhhh no!!! no international orders?? sigh........i LOVE your skirts sniff xx
i really love your blog and have added you to my blog roll! you have some really inspiring posts! it would be great to be added back.
thank you

i hope your change your mind soon about international shipping! canadians need some lovin too.
Soo exciting! Maybe you'll eventually ship to canada if it is successful?!
Great idea! I will be there for sure! I love one of a kind pieces. Do I get a special oregon discount? Ha ha kidding. Good for you, you'll get your name out there and pocket some dough. Let me know when you're up for business.
You're selling the skirts? Awesome, and very ambitious. I'll be saving up for one. Perhaps consider making some in velvet and wool? (for the approaching winter months)
oh camille, i'm disappointed that you won't be shipping internationally: please let me know when you decide to, the skirts are just lovely, just what i have been looking for! my own sewing machine is broken at the moment, and i move out of the country in a matter of days and am unable to bring it with me, so there is no hope for me to make my own any time soon!
good luck with the etsy store, and like i say, if you do consider international shipping, please let me know! that would be wonderful.
Camille...don't sell yourself short. Seriously. $25 for a HANDMADE skirt is preposterous. You're practically giving them away. A handsewn tag? beautiful...really. Double or triple the price, girl. Your audience will still applaud you...and continue to support what you are really worth.
BTW. I was about to snap up the white one you have posted, but I have had kids and share a bowl of ice cream with them on occasion, so a 24" waist won't work for me...heh heh. Can we start at a comfy 26" at least for me?

CHEERS!

Aww. I wish you would ship to Canada too!
So for us international readers, I guess we'll just have to get off out backsides and learn how to sew! Your skirts are very effective for something so simple, and I'm often seeing lovely fabric and wishing I could do something with it. Fabulous idea, all the best for your store. Don't let it become a chore though, you don't owe it to anyone to keep up with demand!
ah, please consider shipping internationally soon! i'm going to be needing your skirts for spring and i'm too hopeless at a sewing machine to make one myself!
xoxo
you're the ugly mixed girl i've ever seen.
isn't your skirt just a rip off of miu miu? why do you call it a camille original? i smell a COPY CAT.
also. she: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5620566§ion_id=5321597
sells the same exact skirt for 8. which i'm sure can be customed for much less than your $25. ripoff.
anonymous @ 10.52
is that etsy link really a link to a virus?
anonymous @ 10:52 - i'm sorry you feel that way. you are also free to buy her skirt instead if you like.
That Anonymous is retarded because the link is first of all not a good link and second of all, that seller only sells kids clothes. For "wee" kids, so if you want to buy a kid's skirt for $8 I think it's appropriate because their attitude is one of a kid.
love those cute tags
Camille I'm so excited for you! I love all of mine, last time I traveled I put the one I took with me in my carry-on so it wouldn't get lost lol.
haha i admire your polite sassyness (when defending yourself). Its a great trait to have.
Congrats on the store!
Although they are nice, 35 is way to expensive. I would not pay that much for a skirt that i can make myself. I wish you would lower the prices
Oh and i would love to have a flaming red skirt simular to one you wore way back with that anthropologie coat!
anonymous @ 12:05 - they are actually not all $35. the one currently in my shop right now has twice the fabric of the original version (which are $25). also i have a tutorial for the skirts (check the old entries of my blog) which shows you how to make your own if you'd prefer to do that. :)
PITY that you don't ship internationally!! loving the tag - adorable!! soon enough you'll be starting your own boutique! heh
$25-$35 is not expensive AT ALL considering you're picking out the fabric and putting in the labor yourself. I don't know what some commenters are talking about... Can't wait to buy one!
seriously, $25-35 for a handmade skirt is very inexpensive - maybe too inexpensive. i can't understand how people can complain about that price. this is not mass-production. handmade garments are special. you do a great job of defending yourself though. xo.
Oh I'm SO excited! I'll keep checking back.
yay im excited!
could you possibly do old victorian floral prints and larger sizes?
