We find the clothes.
We help you style them.
We alter what isn't working.
We create what doesn't exist.
And when you're not sure where to start?
That's what I'm here for.

NEW IN THE HOUSE
PIECES WORTH
GETTING DRESSED FOR.
I don't curate clothes just because they're trending.
Every piece that enters the House has to earn its place. Whether that is through fit, proportion, detail, or simply the way it makes you stand a little more confidently, each piece has a purpose for entering the House.
This is what I'm loving currently.
A black vegan leather jacket cut with strong shoulders, a defined waist, and a subtle peplum shape through the hip. Gold sea shell buttons break up the all-black finish, while curved princess seams give the jacket its sculpted look. It has the presence of a blazer, but the leather makes it feel sharper, sexier, and a little less expected.
From Rachel
The waist sold me on this one. I love a jacket that gives you shape instead of hiding it, and the strong shoulder makes that waist look even more defined. I’d treat Sabine almost like a top, button it up, keep everything underneath simple, and let the cut do the work. Or go bold and rock it open over your favorite romantic dress.
A chocolate brown maxi dress with fine spaghetti straps, cascading gathered tiers, and lace trimming throughout. The loose, floating shape moves away from the body instead of defining it, giving the dress a soft sense of volume. The lace breaks up the long silhouette and adds texture without making the piece feel overly sweet.
From Rachel
I chose this because it feels romantic without feeling precious. There’s a lot of fabric and movement here, so I’d resist over-styling it. Let the tiers and lace be the detail, then keep everything else clean. If you want to add some badassery, throw on a leather jacket!
A burgundy chiffon blouse with a softly gathered high neckline, sheer blouson sleeves, and a dramatic high-low hem. The loose trapeze shape gives it movement without feeling fussy, while the long tie cuffs and back-neck bow add just enough detail. It is romantic, fluid, and strong enough to carry a very simple bottom.
This is a one size fits most. I have seen XS-2X wear it. It is oversized by design.
From Rachel
What I like here is the volume. I’d let the transparency, the long back drape, and those cuff ties be the whole point, then ground it with something clean and close to the body. As a millennial, I prefer a tuck in the front, but it is not necessary.
Burgundy wide-leg trousers with crisp pleating, an asymmetrical wrap-style front, and a contrasting black belt at the waist. The tailored shape is clean through the top before falling into a long, straight leg. What makes them interesting is the offset waistband detail—it gives a classic trouser just enough tension to feel directional.
From Rachel
These are the trousers I reach for when I want tailoring to do more than just look polished. That asymmetric front changes the whole attitude of the pant, so I’d keep the top simple enough that you can actually see it. And yes, burgundy can absolutely work as a neutral—treat it the same way you would black or chocolate.
GOOD GIRLS FOLLOW THE DRESS CODE.
WE WRITE OUR OWN.

THE FASHION ALCHEMIST IS IN.
I believe getting dressed should make your life easier, not make you question your body.
I'm Rachel — a fashion designer, stylist and lifelong student of how clothes change the way we see ourselves.
For nearly two decades, I've helped women find the line between who they are and who they're becoming.
Sometimes that's a better jacket.
Sometimes it's finally wearing the dress.
Sometimes it's tailoring what you already own.
And sometimes we need to make the damn thing ourselves.
You don't need to know what you need before you come to me. That's my job.
PART STYLIST.
PART DESIGNER.
PART FASHION TRANSLATOR.
I look at more than what fits.
I look at where you're going, what you're trying to say, what you already own, what you're avoiding, and how you want to feel when you walk into the room.
Then we build from there.
No fashion rules for the sake of rules.
No dressing to hide your body.
No buying a whole new personality.
Just better clothes, better choices and a wardrobe that finally feels like yours.
SO, WHAT'S A FASHION ALCHEMIST?
FIND THE PIECE.
Designer-eyed fashion without the designer gatekeeping.
Statement pieces, wardrobe builders and things you didn't know you needed until you put them on.
MAKE IT YOURS.
Some things deserve a second life.
And some need to be made from scratch.
Custom design, bridal, alterations, transformation and Alter Époque all live here.
FIND THE DIRECTION.
You don't need another closet full of “maybe.”
Come shop with me, get dressed for something important, or let me help you figure out what's missing.

Fashion gets a lot more interesting when real women are inside it.
HAUSGIRLS is where we play — with clothes, identity, friendship, ambition, bad decisions, good outfits and the occasional little bit of chaos.
Different women.
Different bodies.
Different lives.
Same House.
OUR HOUSE RULE
YOUR BODY IS NOT
THE PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
The clothes might be wrong.
The proportions might be wrong.
The size chart might be ridiculous.
But I'm never going to stand in a fitting room and tell you that you need to become smaller before you deserve to feel good in your clothes.
We work with the woman who walked through the door.
That's where we start.
