A red skirt with a tail of bright flowers

Custom-made for a friend. 

The tail swings almost by itself when she walks.
It can be worn two ways: tail-down, or tied up to the sides for some extra drape.

An earthy brown slit skirt

The softest jersey fabric I have seen. Will go well with all colors, and, of course, white.

The slits allow for freedom of motion:

A shimmery ivory + pink double layer skirt

SIZE: medium-large:
Waistband 32" slack, stretches to 40"
Length: 17" in the front, ~28" in the back.

Another way to wear: move the back pleat to open at your left leg.

Wine-red and orange ikat style stretch skirt with a secret pocket

This skirt has a hidden pocket underneath the back fold for your essentials: a key, some cash and a credit card. Absolutely impossible to detect by sight!

The waistband is 28". slack, stretches to 38".
Length in the front: 19"; in the back - 22".

A black ruffle skirt with green chiffon

SiZE: small to medium. waistband 26" slack, stretches to 34"
Wear on high or low waist.
The ruffle fabric is sheer against strong light, but provides good coverage under normal conditions.
Length in the front: 20"

What? A pocket inside a skirt?

YES, it is possible. The pleated back-side of the skirt conceals a small pocket, where you can discreetly keep a car key, an ID and some cash. Nobody will be able to see it from the outside.

Black skirt with mini-ruffles and pleats

Black skirt made from delicate black poly / spandex. Semi-sheer, depending on the light: you will see a silhouette through it when looking into bright sunlight, but the ruffles provide good coverage in all other situations.

Do you have flower hair clips? Here's another place you can clip them! The flower and tassles attach to the center-tail piece, and you can easily unclip for washing. 

This one is not available, but I am posting lots of photos to demonstrate the shape and movement. This silhouette is my favorite so far, and I plan on making more variations on it soon! (follow tangoskirt on Facebook to get updates when I post something!)

Jungle dress

This dress was inspired by the lush colors the leaves are turning. They grow thicker by late spring and from the shadows, you look up and see a very deep emerald.

This dress was custom-made for me, and is already taken :)

I am happy with the result. This was the first full dress I ever made, not counting Halloween costumes, and it is wearable and fits. I based the pattern based on twisting in front of a mirror, tracing the shape of a bra onto paper, and some luck.

Stripes and neon

This skirt is very soft and flowy. You flash the bright neon yellow accent. Tassels added for extra street cred.

(listing coming soon... size medium+)

(once it's gone, it's gone... I make unique pieces, and will never repeat a design)

• Size: small to medium
• Length: 19 in.
• Waist: stretchy, up to 20 in. wide
• Materials: sheer spandex, patterned spandex, black jersey.
• Cool detail: two red cords with the signature striped end-pieces tie together to close up the sheer panel for a more covered-up walk to the milonga, or the metro ride home. 
• Wear it two ways: the sheer panel can ride over your hip in the front, or open up like a bright tail in the back. (depending on your comfort level, and how high you wear this skirt on you waist, you may want to shorts underneath when the sheer panel is in the back.)
