artist and frock designer andrea loest has exhibited some of her fab creations at various chickfactor events, and people are always dying to buy them until they realize that, since andrea sews on each sequin individually and spent a gazillion hours on these things, they are worth a lot! but she has started making more affordable versions of her character-driven shifts and such, so you can now actually get one in her online shop. she lost a lot of artwork in hurricane katrina, so buying one of her frocks is an honorable act indeed! supporting the arts! and who doesn’t want a lady boss dress? I know I do. (hopefully in the future they’ll be available in more, um, larger sizes too!)
