Here’s a little more about Wendy and TheDress Up Box.
Last year my husband left on his first deployment. We were lucky and his deployment length was reduced to six months. Still, that's a long time to be away from a spouse or father and my children and I were eagerly awaiting his return. I decided to make something for our daughters to wear when we greeted him when he arrived. I made two pettiskirts and had such a great response to them. With the encouragement of my husband behind me, I decided to start making items that military family and friends can have clothing and accessories to show their support and pride for their loved ones.
I officially opened The Dress Up Box on June 1st, so this business is quite new and I'm so excited and thrilled with the response I've had in the last couple months.
I use new, store bought fabric, but can also use upcycled fabric from discarded uniforms. The military ends up discarding a large quantity of uniforms in great condition due to minor issues like ink stains that are unable to be removed in one area (but the rest of the uniform is great!), or there is an update in uniform type, so uniforms of the older style get discarded.
When I find some, I always wash all uniforms on a sanitary cycle before using them in any garment making. All items made with upcycled fabric are noted in listings. Custom orders are made with new fabric unless otherwise noted. This also allows for customers to donate an old jacket of their loved one and I can make a garment or accessory out of that piece of clothing.
I also make non-military themed items as well! If you're the winner, your item doesn't have to have the camouflage pattern on it.
Now…tell us what you’ve been up to!
