Vintage Style Slips Made in Portland Oregon! Why a Slip? Thought You'd Never Ask!


Oh slips. We love them SO much here at Folly! 

*But why? Aren't slips hot, fussy, and uncomfortable?*
Answer? NO. WAY.

Our slips are made from slinky, stretchy, light, breathable nylon milled in the USA.
They are machine washable
I prefer to use a laundry bag and cold water to prolong the life of mine.

We also use only the softest, prettiest lace. No irritation even if you have sensitive skin. And I do!

Left: The Classic Ava Slip in Black ($68) 
Right: The Erin Slip with Adjustable Straps ($74) 

And...they are incredibly well priced, ranging from $68-$74
That's a steal considering the fabric is milled in the USA, we cut each piece of fabric by hand, 
and they are sewn in store! Yup. From start to finish a completely ethical, USA made product. 

Here is a little picture of Ying sewing while Sarah looks at fabric for bridesmaid's dresses!

*But WHY is that important?*
Well Folly Girl, I'll tell you! 
Made in the USA means each and every worker along the way is paid a fair living wage
That means us Folly Worker Bees are paid fairly too!

By buying a product made in our shop, you are supporting a small business!


*What does that REALLY mean?*
Well, it means that I go home and feed my dog with food that I buy at a small, local pet shop! And then I go to YOUR favorite tiny neighborhood coffee shop and get my morning cup o' joe! And, well, that means these places get to stick around
Running a business is hard work and costs a lot of money!

Thanks for all your LOVE and SUPPORT Folly Girl!
XOXOXO

The Magical, Amazing, Mind-blowing AMANDA Dress!

The Amanda dress by Sarah Bibb is the most perfect dress ever designed! An easy short sleeve. Blouses just right while accentuating your waist with a thin, comfortable elastic waistband. The perfect just-around-the-knee length! Straight skirt that hangs just right and is never too clinging. With pockets! And of course in the softest knits only!

The Amanda comes in the perfect fabric just for you. Bold solids, fun prints, easy neutrals...we have it all :)

The Amanda in Cobalt is the perfect bright and sunny solid! This shade of blue looks good on everyone. 
Pair with a fun printed obi belt, or a contrasting cardi worn over her!


The Amanda in Black and Tan Floral is an easy classic. This dress and print will stand the test of time!
A little twist on classic Black and White, this print is so easy to wear!
Last but not least the Amanda in Pink Geo! A super fun and bright print on a black base to keep you grounded! Love this one. It's also made from a cotton blend! We know you love cotton!

The best part is...all of these dresses are Made In Portland! We have our very own "Factory" where our wonderful employees make these garments for you! Doesn't it feel good to know where your clothes come from?

wow, it's JUNE!

come by for some 1st Thursday merriment... this month it's all about VINTAGE SLIPS.

i have just received a HUGE shipment and they are gorgeous. the truth is not all the slips i get are of the near perfection required to make it onto my rack at FOLLY so i will be doing a BLOWOUT SALE on the slightly imperfect ones THIS THURSDAY NIGHT ONLY come by for bargains as low as $10!! what?! yes... 10 bucks! some of these slips might need a little stitch but nothing major and honestly when they are under a dress no one can see the little flaws anyway....

come by at 6pm and get ready to go nutso!
