Swing Candy Fashion

The creation of my online shop grew out of my obsession with swing
dancing. I started about 1996 or 1997 (wow! I can't believe it's been
that long already) and I loved everything about it including the
clothing. I had lots of vintage clothing back then but now I just don't
fit much of it anymore. I used to put them on consignment when they
didn't fit or I just felt the need for a change. Then, I started
noticing, the next week one of the other girls in the scene would show
up wearing one of my dresses at the next dance. Plus, I have begun to
make dancing friendly, vintage "look" clothing for myself. (Girls, I am
sure you know what I mean about being able to lift your arms up above
your head without ripping something or having the whole shirt ride up)
I also started to make some for friends who I dance with, as well as
costumes for my performance dance troupe.
(The Jitterbug Junkies if you are interested!) So, I decided why not
start an online store? Since I work for myself already, I have the
luxury to be able to go and search the vintage and second hand shops
that many others don't. I will do the hunting work, and possible
repairs, for you. Plus, since I am a professional organizer,
I help declutter peoples storage and have access to some wonderful
vintage pieces that way. I have a policy that anything that is given to
me in this manner, some of the proceeds will be donated to a charity.
