What I’m all ABOUT::
♥ Platipuses clothing is about expressing your true self.
I specialize in nerdishly punk rock-abilly clothes for girls with some love on their bones.
I started out making SMALL size clothing, just like the other 95% of the DIYers out there, but soon I realized; not everyone is a SMALL- like me for example! So I transformed PLATIPUSES to celebrate average ladies- the curvey chickie-pies need some awesome clothes too. So that is what I intend to do.
Since its beginning in 2005, my passion for sewing has grown, allowing me to expand my creativity and ability to make clothes for you! And since 2005, I haven’t made a single thing TWICE! All ONE of a KIND!
It is my only source of income, so I honestly, from deep in my little heart thank EVERYONE who buys my stuff, I need you guys, and I appreciate you allowing me to follow my dreams and do what I absolutely LOVE to do. THANKS VERY MUCH!
Not all of my clothes are bigger sizes, I make Xsmall/Smalls too, just not as often, every few weeks I try to get some small stuff out, if there is a big demand for them, then I try to whip some out! Like when I can get my skinny friends to take time from their ever so BUSY lives to come model for me.
