About Dot & Bee:
Dot & Bee Clothing features handmade women's wear and accessories. The majority of the pieces you'll find on Dot & Bee are vintage inspired, drawing mainly from the 50s and 60s, by way of style or fabric. Most pieces are at least partly created from vintage fabrics or details, such as trim or buttons. With Dot & Bee, retro meets modern in the sweetest little way possible.

What's in a Name?
'Dot & Bee' comes from a combination of the two people behind the clothing line...myself (Brooke, the 'Bee' part), and my grandmother Dorothy (sewer extraordinaire also known as 'Dot'). While the lovely Dottie is no longer with us, Dot & Bee serves as a way of keeping her (occasionally sassy) memory alive. I attribute every ounce of sewing and creative fashion skill I possess to this wonderful lady, and create every piece you will find in my collection on her trusty (much older than me) Singer sewing machine. Even some of the vintage fabrics used have been passed down to me from her enormous fabric collection. I hope you feel the love in 'our' creations as much as I do!

Perianth Returns from AnimeNEXT

 Hello everyone! If you happened to attend AnimeNEXT this year in (held in Somerset, NJ) I hope you had a chance to drop by the Artist Alley and see Perianth! 


If not, do not despair! I have many items going up on the etsy shop this week for you to feast your eyes on. You'll see a selection of combination clip+pinback brooches (hair accessories, bag decoration, however you want to use it!) as well as Perianth's brand new 1" pins among other things!


Mixture of Perianth and Perianth Pop! at AnimeNEXT
I also want to share with you a little side project I have been working on, tentatively named "Perianth Pop!" Those of you who are also interested in colorful styles such as OTT sweet lolita and fairy kei might want to check this out. Right now it's planned as a limited run of one-of-a-kind items including bloomers, tote bags, skirts, hair accessories, and maybe even a few cutsews. These items will appear in the etsy shop under the category "Perianth Pop!"

Be sure to keep an eye on the etsy shop for these new items! Thank you!
