Its just me and my assistant and we are taking all the precautions necessary to ensure your order arrives safe and secure during this crazy time. We are a tad overwhelmed and are trying to keep things going in addition to taking care of our mental health.
When all this began I really didn't think it would be as bad as it has become. When things started to get scary I went into panic mode. After i cried, alot, I realized I can help. I can sew!
I wanted to do something. I couldn't just sit here and watch the world fall apart and do nothing. So instead of closing down and laying off my only employee I started making face masks. I have a whole room full of left over fabric just sitting there so I thought - why not? So I got to work.
I wanted to offer them to my customers but also I wanted to help those who cant help themselves. My mom is 77 and she lives with us so we have to get her groceries and run errands for her, she cant leave her house right now. All I started to think about was all the elderly who are in nursing care facilities and don't have the luxury of being on quarantine and having someone take care of them without worrying about getting the virus. So I came up with the donation program. For every 1 that I make I will donate 1 to my local nursing care facilities.
We will do that until I run out of fabric here at my studio.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now onto other things.... things that are effecting our business...
Sourcing of fabric, inventory and accessories.
Most places are running on limited hours or are closed so getting the things we need are taking much longer. Some production has been pushed back & some pre-orders are taking longer than they should and I apologize for that. As soon as we get everything in we ship it right back out to you!
Also shipping is taking longer because all shipping services are also effected by the virus. USPS, UPS and DHL seem to be very overwhelmed and flights to over seas countries are becoming less and less so it takes longer to get packages to you.
And the prices of shipping have gone up as well, so we had to turn off the Free US shipping for now until things get a little back to normal.
We appreciate your patience during this difficult time! We are all in this together and I cannot wait for life to get back to normal.
Thank you for supporting my lil' shop,
xoxo

]]>Join us as we discuss Dapper Day, my upcoming 2017 Holiday Line and Christmas memories!
]]>In this episode of Lunch with TOBS we are discussing my new colllection Forever Friends, Dapper Day and how to spot knock-offs and why you shouldn't buy them.
And I put together a knock-off list of who NOT TO BUY FROM!
How to tell if it's a knock-off brand from China -
It's shipping from China - that's a no-brainer
The photos don't all match on their website. That's because they are pulling them from other companies websites.
The price is too good to be true! Really $5-$15 for a dress?! If it's too good to be true it is!
The description has tons of grammar issues - see the photo below with the blue dress... it says its a warm jacket men... please!!! So obvious this is not a US brand.
Knock off stores on amazon:
CharMma
Zwingtonseas
UNIFACO
Gillberry Women's Dress
Beautyvan - the description for one of their dresses refers to a warm jacket for men!
Ludarin
Danie & Holmy
The list goes on and on… I really think they are all the same distributes just with a million shops on amazon.
Same goes for Ebay:
cybermall360
worldfashion360 - because Paris Hilton loves to wear retro Christmas dresses with an upsidown Santa! This is just ridiculous!

shaohuababyonlinedress

FB ads to stay away from:
Dresslily
DL Boutique - their fb page that shows an item they are selling with the Dress Lilly logo on it - see its all the same company! If you click on the link to shop it goes to dresslily.com
Rosegal
Rosewholesale
Sisjuly
I am pretty sure Paris Hilton did not model a dress with an upsidown santa!

Coming in August to Tiki Oasis! I am thrilled to welcome back Danielle Mann as my exclusive Tiki mug sculptress for TOBS. I love working with her - she gets what us tiki ladies want! These beautiful Mermaid bust mugs feature lovely pastel colors with seashell bras and a starfish in their hair! These mugs will all be sold separately - the tail is a separate mug! Buy her bust or her tail or both. When you set her on a table she looks like she is swimming through the ocean! The Mermaids bust holds 15oz and the tail holds about 7oz.
We shot my new Spiderweb skirt and matching sweater. Which the sweater wasn't embroidered yet so we just shot the plain sample.
I got my new Thread & Mitre Denim shorts in so I gave them a test run all day and they were comfortable and perfectly paired with my vintage leopard top.
Tara O' makin magic!
Yes I am on my tippy toes! I am barely 5' tall and she is wearing heels! We had a laugh about how short I am. She said in New Zealand she's considered short! I can only imagine what they would think of me over there!
Then we shot this cute new set! This striped button down dress has the cutest matching shorts! This will be available in the summer. The bangles, necklace and earrings were provided by Splendette! I just adore their line and hope to have some at my booth this summer at Tiki Oasis!
We shot all my Double Cross tops - both crossed in the front and the back because I get alot of ladies asking how you can wear them! Miss Victory Violet was so gracious and patient having to model so many tops! I also put her in capris which she never normally wears but she rocked them and I think they look fab on her amazing figure!
Here's a little video by Miss Victory Violet that features our shoot:
Little Miss Magelene was my assistant and it was her first time at Viva. She did a great job helping steam the line and take alot of the BTS photos - all the while looking adorable.
Special thanks to Tara O for taking such amazing shots! And to Miss Victory Violet for taking time out of her busy schedule to shoot with my lil' shop!
All these items are on my site now or will be up by Summer 2017!
XO,
Denialle Von Fitch
