Profile Information:

What best describes your role in the industry?: Artist, Designer, Vendor
Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined): Howdy! I'm Miss (now Mrs.) Jess, an all around designer, model, stylist and artist specializing in vintage-style western wear/Americana. I own Rockin' B Clothing. We design and make Retro-tastic Western Swing Wear for Rockin' Gals™. Check out our shop by clicking the banner above, or visit our Etsy shop! Follow me on Twitter (@missjessh) and Facebook for updates!

I love swing dancing, I try to dance every week with my local swing club - I'm a lindy hopper for life! I teach vintage hair and makeup workshops to area swing clubs and people interested in authentic/accurate vintage style - so much fun!

My husband and I love living in our 1928 craftsman bungalow, which we share with our black standard poodle Fritz, two kitties and WAY too many flashy western shirts! I absolutely adore all things vintage western - my style can most effectively be described as 40s Rodeo Queen does Atomic Ranch. I really enjoy painting murals and doing decorative painting - our house is covered in my work.

I also do quite a bit of freelance graphic design and illustration work under the roof of Rockin' B Design LLC, including wedding design! Please feel free to email/message me for more info - I'm always open to new clients and ideas.

A few last details - I'm currently working on a series of gothic Americana pinup paintings tentatively titled "Rural Daughters" - inspired by the beauty and mystery of classic Americana and bluegrass music. I'm very close to my family! I love film of all kinds and sitting around working on random embroidery projects.

P.S. - I have two vices in life. Hot, salty, greasy french fries, and shoes. Lots and lots of shoes.

It's such a challenge huh? It took me a couple of years to get going and we're only just finding our feet, still I love it when I see someone wearing our stuff, gives me a real buzz, I can't help smiling at who ever it is, who then looks a little off put by this random dame beaming at her!

I'm glad to hear your drafting your own patterns too! Keep up the good work, let us know when your stuffs out, would love to see your style. I really like how different companies and designers have completely different takes.
