Review: Hearts and Found

At this point, it's no surprise that I'm a sucker for anything fruit print or gingham. So you can imagine my reaction when I discovered that Hearts and Found, a Vietnamese made-to-order clothier and textile seller, had gingham fabric with strawberries on it. (If you can't imagine my reaction, let me give you a hint: a sharp intake of breath followed by incoherent loudness.)

I'd read an extremely positive review of Hearts and Found on Pinup Persuasion, so about a month ago, I felt ready to take the plunge. I'd heard that it was super easy to set up a custom order, so I messaged Marjorie and got the ball rolling on a strawberry-gingham gathered skirt. I wanted it made to my exact waist measurement (done) in a custom fabric (done) and a 24" length (done), and while I was at it, how about throwing in a cute nautical skirt, also with a custom waist measurement? No problem! I paid, trying not to have a small heart attack over the price of international shipping (which really wasn't that bad: $20 for two skirts!), and settled in to wait.
