Mitzi was an introverted clown who wanted to run away from the circus. She was born and raised at Circo Circus back when silent films were all the rage and tattooed people were considered rare. She came from a long line of circus performers, but she didn’t feel like she belonged.
This post is not sponsored. I just love supporting my local fashion designers. It’s no secret I admire the talent of the small-batch fashion designers I find at Sassafras in Seattle.

With the closet thoroughly wrangled, I turn my attention to making new favorites, like the backless dress I made using Sew House 7’s Bridgetown dress pattern.
