About

 

Hi, new friend! My name is Cassie, and I'm the designer/creator/seamstress of Casstastrophe.

I've been obsessed with style since I was a little girl. I collected magazines and doodled dresses for hours on end. As a teenager, I worshipped at the church of Betsey Johnson, and I was honored to meet her in my twenties.

I guess you could say that my style is...unique. Yes, there are some brands that I absolutely love, but as a midsize girly with odd taste, it can be hard to find things that work for my body.

While working for a boutique, I taught myself how to sew, which opened up a whole new world. I started making my own clothes.

When I worked for the boutique, I quickly learned how difficult it is to keep pieces in stock. Things either sold out immediately and were unavailable to reorder, or they didn’t sell at all. To make things easier on myself and more special for my customers, almost everything is made to order.

Every piece that I offer is something I have in my closet. I keep some fun and funky prints in stock, and I can source other fabrics upon request. Casstastrophe is a mix of nostalgia, humor, and unconventional style.

Creating is my passion, and I love taking on fun projects. I absolutely LOVE requests and commissions. If you have something specific in mind, we can work together to make your fashion dreams come true!
