Thank you so much for the warm response to my upcoming clothing collection with ModCloth! Per your request, here are some more photos of the sketches I made for my pieces-
I love sketching! Thanks for letting me share. This was a lot of fun! The real life pieces will be arriving on my doorstep any day now. We will be taking lots of photos (and videos) to share with you before the launch. Follow me on instagram (@elsiecake) for sneak peeks! xoxo

You have such a natural flair for fashion/design. I adore the sketch with the polka dot skirt. Rx
Elsie, is there anything you can’t do?! I’m in love with these sketches.
Really cute sketches! I wish I could draw like that…
I love them all but the fifth one has to be my favorite!

I love your sketches! They are so cute! You should write an tutorial/post about how to make the models for design sketches—I would love that! I can never get them quite right.

i love sketching too. It’s almost more fun than sewing since you see a lovely result a little quicker lol. Hey I know you like vintage and I have a fun vintage post on my blog today. My seasoned vintage shopping pal is showing off outfits and sharing tips. You should stop by!

Wow! What a talent! I really like the gingham dress; it would look cute with a cardigan and tights!
These are perfect! Wonderful job!
I’m loving the chevron top SO much! That collar is to die for…
Beautiful sketches! I love the 5th one- so hip and vintage at the same time! 🙂
How I wish I was as creative as you…

they look wonderful! love that collared chevron top.
this is so cute-love the dresses with the houses on it!
Polka dot maxi and the dress with hearts are my fave. They are all great designs.
Can’t wait to see the real pieces! the last dress looks so cute!

I wish I could model the polka dot maxi skirt. So darn cute.
I’m so excited to hear more info on this collection! You have a lot of talent in sketching designs and definitely an eye for fashions. 2, 3 and 4 are my favorites!

Although they are all amazing the last dress has to be my fave.
Such a great opportunity doing that for mod cloth!
The line is adorable, not sketching each girl in the same pose might diversify the illustrations a bit though. Check out the fashionary sketchbooks if you haven’t, I think you’ll like them. Otherwise totally awesome!
Such cute designs – I love your sketches, how do you go about doing them? Do you have a base sketch of your girl’s shape, just wondered coz the drawings are so consistent and I’ve always wondered how designers do it!!
thanks for sharing xx
Looks SUPER cute! I love the polka dot maxi skirt and the heart pockets on the last dress. SO EXCITING!

The polka dot skirt…OH MY! LOVE!!!
I’m loving these looks! You did such a great job. Can’t wait to see them come to real life!!!
Your are a rock star! Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to wear your designs proudly.
I love the second one from the top with the rain boots the most. I’m also loving that polka dot maxi skirt! Sooo excited!!
The sketches look very cute! Love the 2nd and 4th look.

I LOVE this collection! Ever since I found your blog a few months ago, I’ve been waiting for you to come out with a new line so that I could snag something for myself:) I’m anxiously awaiting the date that your line is available at Modcloth because I’ll be purchasing the cape immediately! I’m so excited, you’re so talented!:)
OMG Elsie!! I am dying over the ruffle front dress and the chevron top/red skirt combo! Can’t wait to shop your collection!! 😀
I can’t wait to see everything “in real life”! I don’t see a single one of these that I wouldn’t wear. I love them all!

You’re so talented… in your vision and your artistic skill. I loved the sketches. Very inspiring.

Wow – too fab! (:
I especially love all the neutrals w. pops of whatever colour!
I know we all ask so much of you all the time but any chance you’d be willing to share your croquis?
I help out w. a high school fashion class – and interesting (& easy to use!) croquis are one of the hardest things to find.
It’s nice to give the girls lots of options to help them learn to draw their own!
xox
I absolutely adore Mod Cloth and fashion design. You’re so lucky that you can draw. I tried my hand at fashion design/marketing when I was eighteen and ended up dropping out because of my inability to draw anything realistic. I still love fashion design to this very day and can’t wait to buy something from your new collection, Elsie:)

Such lovely sketches! Have you always drawn? My mom is a great crafter/artist. I inherited her sewing abilities, but not the drawing. I often want to sketch something I’d like to create and sew, but the drawings look like they come from the hands of a 5 year old 🙁 eeek!
Very special, I like
