We've all been there...all dressed up but too shy to brave the public. Hopefully, you will not be too coy to adorn  All dressed up and Shy's fun and distinct hand-crafted clothing. Founded by Susann Keohane, All dressed up and Shy's clothing are constructed from original designs with many one-of-a-kind pieces.

Identity Crisis Clothing (formerly Kaemmeche)
www.identitycrisisclothing.com

This e-boutique features one-of-a-kind reconstructed clothing and accessories.  Owner/designer Karly Hand’s art school background shows through her amazing style. She is most interested in creating clothing that performs multiple functions or can operate as more than one piece: the kinetic skirt, for example, operates like a roman shade providing it’s owner with several length options from one skirt. Playing around with basic systems to create dynamic clothing keeps her motivated as a designer.

Amet and Sasha
www.ametandsasha.com

Amet and Sasha began on September 1, 2002. Jesse Kelly-Landes was searching for an interesting and more secure career than her office job and in her search she stumbled over her sewing machine. Her goal was to make simply constructed clothes with interesting lines that could flatter any woman's shape. She is not only much happier in her new job as seamstress, she is pleasantly surprised that she has been successful in finding a niche for herself in the world of handmade clothing. Her clothes can be found in several stores both in the US and Canada.
