About Owner and Mom, Jessica

Jessica Plotz is a local mom of three and shares, “As a little girl I always wanted to own my own clothing store. I’d spend hours in my bedroom with my friends making clothes for paper dolls. I took a beginners sewing class in college, but am otherwise self-taught. I never really came to love sewing until I became pregnant with my oldest daughter, Gianna (whom my shop is named after) and I couldn’t find the clothes I wanted for her. I started making simple things for her like pillowcase dresses and burp cloths and then slowly gained more confidence to try more complex outfits.

I originally started my Etsy shop to sell headbands and clips but family and friends encouraged me to start selling my custom clothing too. I’m very passionate about creating affordable, stylish children’s clothing and accessories! I’m always open to new ideas and requests for custom outfits in new fabrics or patterns! I love what I do and couldn’t be more thankful for all my friends, family and customers who have supported me!”

Want to see all this cuteness in person? And get together with friends at the same time? You can!

Jessica shares, “I also offer pop up shops right in the comfort of your own home! I’ll set up a mini shop with my favorite pieces. Invite your friends over to browse, purchase, and catch up with friends! The host of the party receives a percent of sales in free product of her choice!” Sounds like a good reason to hang with your besties to me!
