In 2015 Elizabeth Wilson Designs was born out of a love of ruffles, gingham and a twist of whimsy.

In the words of the designer:

“I always have had a strong desire to create and design. As a child, this desire budded as I gathered trinkets and tidbits, snagging little treasures, storing them in my room until I needed them for a project. What started as creating cardboard decor for my American Girl Dolls grew into a deep love of the innocence that could be celebrated in fashion design.

By the age of 7, I loved anything and everything to do with fashion. I remember sketching designs in my little notebook during church and borrowing some of my Momma’s fur jackets and jewelry. I was no longer content with just looking at all of these designs I sketched and these ideas I had. I knew that I needed to actually create them.

At age 13, I was gifted my first sewing machine. I took a sewing class at a local fabric store to learn the basics, then taught myself the rest of the things I would need to know by watching tutorials on Youtube.

As if by magic, my stack of designs and sketches from years past came to life as they were transformed into real pieces of clothing. As I began to post photos of the things I was creating on my Instagram account, I started receiving requests from strangers to purchase my designs

In 2015, I listened to the demand and started a shop on Etsy. I started selling items faster than I could sew them. Somehow, others saw the same beauty that I did in the simplicity of ruffles and gingham.

Thank you to all of the lovely people who have supported me while watching my little business grow!”
