Magic for Every Day
The name Mythic Elm came to me as I was thinking of the wonderful fantasy stories I grew up with, both old and new, and a particular tree that grew outside my window growing up. I wanted to give my brand a sense of charm and grace, while also giving a nod to the fantastical worlds of the books that I love. I hope to bring the feeling of fantasy literature into the world of modern fashion, so those of us who admire magical worlds can express that joy in our day to day lives as much as when we dress up and frolic though the woods or swordfight across the moors.
I have been a passionate creative all of my life, and started designing and sewing my own clothes in middle school. After high school I worked in theater as a costume designer and then earned my degree in fashion design from the University of Texas. I have always gravitated towards unusual, fantastical aesthetics in my own designs, and with the current trends brushing against my own personal style, I feel the time is right to share my creativity with a wider audience.
I hope you find light and joy in dressing in a way that gives you the ability to express yourself, and I hope that Mythic Elm can continue to be a part of that!

This dress is made of a heavyweight twill and fully lined, giving it a luxurious drape and swaying movement. Features hidden side-seam pockets at the hips, functional lacing detail in the front, short slits with small crossed laces, and an invisible zipper in the back. Designed consciously, the princess seam design lines give the dress a body skimming appearance without being tight. Tapered waist and flared hips give a natural and elegant hourglass shape that can be styled with a shirt underneath or not. This design is modeled after Medieval kirtles, and can be styled in any number of ways, both modern and sophisticated or magical and fantastical. Accentuating with a belt at the waist or at the hips will give different looks (belt not included). This dress would be at home on any academia campus, sorceress' study, or board meeting depending on different styling. The sophisticated design is a part of a larger collection meant to transport the wearer to a classical world of magic and adventure. While it is a bold choice, it can definitely be worn in the modern world, with just a nod to the whimsical.
