I’ve been a fan of Etsy for a while, but mostly for non-fashion related things like home decor, crafts and jewelry. But as of late, I’ve been spending way too much time checking out new designers and shopping! I love the fact that most of the items you find are one-of-a-kind and truly unique so each week I’ll be doing an Etsy Spotlight where I profile one of the many talented designers I know you’ll want to learn more about.
This week’s spotlight is on Holly Stalder. This Portland based designer has some of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen and I love her attention to the back of the dress. I think backs are super-sexy in a totally understated and classy way and her dresses really focus on this part of a woman’s body. And for all of you summer brides, I think her designs would be the perfect party dress for all of those special events you have surrounding the big day!
While her dresses might seem pricey (the one above is $175), she does offer items starting at $44 and remember that you’re getting something that’s handmade and that your local Nordstrom/Macy’s won’t ever carry. And I like the idea of helping fashion’s rising stars on their way to the top! This is just sampling of what you can find in her Etsy store, so check out the rest of her gorgeous collection here.

thank you so much for profiling this designer! I love, love feminine details, like bows and lace and ruffles, so I fell in love with pretty much everything. especially the more affordable items
She’s fantastic…I’m totally in love with this dress and might start saving my pennies to buy it! Keep checking back in…I’ll have lots more fabulous Etsy designers in the coming weeks!
