Finding Cages Again
I've run into a streak of luck recently. The computer which I thought was broken for good is fixed. The shoes which in my head were wrecked have suddenly re-appeared immaculate again. Oh, and the skirt that I had chucked away has miraculously re-appeared again. Remember THAT certain skirt which I stupidly and shamefully chucked away...? No, the dustmen of Westminster did not magically think that a Miss Bubble might have done a boo boo and chucked away a skirt and thus returned it. Instead, Angie, the maker of my wonderful floaty cagey dress couldn't help but take pity on me and make me a caged skirt. On her little note which arrived with the skirt (aren't surprise packages at the office are the BEST ever...?), she stated it was the fabric that meant she couldn't resist knocking up the caged affair.
Rightly so as it's deliciously and robustly floral if that makes any sense. It's the perfect length and having played with it a few times, ideas are reeling already. I'm going all out with the cages...
I adore this site. Its so refreshing to see someone so creative, talented and artistically inspiring. Have you ever considered a career in fashion design? You'd have a great line! Check out my blog, its not fashion but you may like it! http:/shesontherag.blogspot.com

Wow! Angie must be really nice. You should bake her a cage-themed cake or something.

i LOVE the floral print, it works so well as a cage!

What a lovely lady she is. I can't wait to see you rock it! I'm going to London tomorrow for a fashiony trip and I'm going to try and dress with the Susie Bubble experimental aesthetic in mind. Man, I wish I had very own cage to wear!

This print is really nice, and majorly on trend for this spring/summer too. I wasn't quite sure about the bage dress, but the skirt is so much more impressive...i just can't wait to see how you wear and style it. Cx
(nice one Angie)

awww...thats so nice of her! I actually really like this one, and I hate florals haha. Tell her she needs to start a "cage clothing" website so I can buy all of it :-P

I love the floral fabric! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Posted by: Helen | 12 June 2008 at 12:53
how lucky you are! that must have been an awesome surprise heh. it'd be cool to wear a cage over a cage over a cage. lots of patterns and perspective to look at :D
Posted by: jo | 12 June 2008 at 14:03
aren't you the luckiest girl on earth! that is really sweet of Angie too (:
Posted by: raq | 12 June 2008 at 15:00
Thank god! I'm so glad it arrived safe and sound, I was starting to get worried that it just wasn't meant to be and the cage skirt gods were against you. Like I said, I just couldn't resist. That pattern and you were MEANT to be together. And to answer some previous posters questions, yes, I've added the "cage skirt" to my etsy store.
I just wanted to say that Susie has much more than just luck on her side, she's worked so hard on this blog for so long that I think of this skirt as a little way that I can give back for the hours of entertainment and inspiration I have received!

that caged skirt idea from Acne JEans is infectious!
Posted by: giancinephile | 12 June 2008 at 17:47
cant wait to see how you wear it
Posted by: emma | 12 June 2008 at 17:50
I wonder why Acne never did put the skirt into production? Maybe I'm living in an internet bubble (no pun intended) but it seems like there is a demand for them.
Posted by: AngieMontreal | 12 June 2008 at 17:52

it looks omfg hottttt!
Posted by: D | 12 June 2008 at 18:00
