We are Mrs. Pomeranz. Our team is Dasha Pomerantseva (me), Masha Kopieva (my sister), Tatiana Tokareva, and Marina Vasilieva. We live in Moscow, Russia, and make made-to-measure dresses based on a classic silhouettes.
For several years I had a vintage shop in Moscow called Good-bye London. Most of my wardrobe at the time was either vintage or dresses I had made myself. In 2009, I decided to mix the two and open an atelier. I wanted to create dresses in my favorite cut: ’50s inspired, with fitted bodices and full skirts. Masha and I made the first sketches and asked our friends Tatiana and Marina to help us with the sewing – they are professional dressmakers who were working in theater costume design at the time. We showed our first collection of 20 dresses at a festival in Moscow. When we sold 10 of the dresses we decided to continue.
The idea of making dresses without a fitting sounded ridiculous to Tatiana and Marina originally, but then we made our first dress for a customer in the US and she liked it. The most important thing is for clients to get their measurements right. We ask for photos so we can check the measurements, and we also write to clients to tell them how the fabric will behave when you wear it. We usually use Liberty fabrics because they have the best cottons.
The sound of the sewing machine was one of the most common and beautiful sounds of our childhoods. Our grandmothers were very talented amateur seamstresses, and their wardrobes were full of stylish dresses from the ’50s and ’60s. As children, we drew sketches endlessly and sewed dresses for our dolls, dreaming of being fashion designers in the future. The USSR collapsed when I was 6, and many people lost their jobs. Most parents sent their kids to study economics. We loved making dresses, but we couldn’t tell our parents – they wanted us to become economists, too. We did our best to do what they wanted, but we were lousy at it. The problem is that you can only ever be good at what you love. Eventually, we ended up making dresses after all.
When we launched our Etsy shop in the summer of 2011, everything changed. We received a lot of orders from the US and Australia, so we started keeping track of all the countries we were sending dresses to. So far there are more than 20 countries, including Ireland, Japan, Kuwait, Qatar, Singapore and South Africa. Etsy not only helped us find more customers, but it also changed the way we approach our business. Our enterprise now is similar to Hayao Miyazaki’s flying castle traveling around the globe: inside there are sewing machines and inspiration.
I think about making dresses as combination of chemistry and poetry. It starts as a dream. For me, the dream is always a mix of childhood memories, inspiration, and current thoughts. You draw the print for the fabric and make a pattern. Sometimes you create a mock-up and it’s not a dress yet, but it already has potential. When the dress finally appears, someone wears it and wonderful things happen. They could have gone for jeans and a t-shirt, but instead they chose a dress. I believe special things happen in dresses: people fall in love, new people are born, and the world grows.

Those are some gorgeous dresses, with vintage flavor! Such a classic, and classy, look. Something so feminine and special about wearing a dress, especially a well tailored one. You have a great team, that is evident, and success has followed just as it should. I rarely wear a dress so it's a special occasion when I do, but your dresses make me wish I had more reasons to wear one! I make dresses for my daughter's ballroom dancing...I wish I had your skill so it would be easier to accomplish a perfect fit. Best wishes to you all for continued success and creative fulfillment!

Penelope Neil from StarTribe said 7 years ago
My mother sewed all our clothes when I was young too- she was a mod and a fashion model in the 60s but we were poor, so the sewing machine got a good workout. I agree on the magic of a dress, and in particular the lines of vintage ones; I love dresses from the 1940s and the 1970s (not all that different). I have a good collection of vintage dresses for my shop here on Etsy, but none of them go anywhere near me and my body type seems against the whole theory. But I still have my grandmother's Singer treadle machine as well as 2 sewing machines that were given to me- and 2 sergers! I think it's about time I used them.

Julie Garland from juliegarland said 7 years ago
Big congrats!! I love your shop! :)
liza anne from KitschyBits said 7 years ago
What I truly love about your designs, aside from being incredibly beautiful, is that they are also modest and appropriate. No plunging necklines, no slits up to "there". Every dress and skirt is simply classic beauty, yet fresh and modern at the same time. My grandmother was a professional seamstress (and at 92 still does small mending jobs for family!), and taught me to love sewing. I can see the love your own family has given to you in your work. So beautiful!!!
Brigit Juarez from TheDeerFox said 7 years ago

The dresses are beautiful, and the photos with that vintage look, too. Your story reminded me of my childhood, surrounded by the women in my family sewing and embroidering in sewing workshops. In Spain in the 40s, 50s and 60s there were many sewing workshops in homes. Congrats!!

All the best to you and your talented team. I used to wear dresses just like this growing up.

You deserve continued success, and best wishes. I absolutely LOVE your dresses!! ♥

Julie and Jade Station from JulieandJadeVintage said 7 years ago
Your dresses are so lovely . . . I think of Audrey Hepburn every time I see one of them around Etsy. Never has a shirtwaist dress looked more feminine. Love that you use a 3/4 length sleeve - so flattering and my favorite, love the scoop backs and admire how impeccably made your dress are. Mark from MakerMoonJewelry's comment summed up the impact of these dresses pretty well! Still chuckling over that one. Best of success to the four of you and your fantastic shop ;)
aressa from OriginalBridalHanger said 7 years ago

Julie and Jade Station from JulieandJadeVintage said 7 years ago

Wouldn't it be great to use a photo of the artist's/artists' work on the main blog page for these features? This particular article is a prime example of why this is necessary for your readers. I wouldn't be particularly inclined to think I'd buy a dress made by any of the four women in the photo; they don't look particularly stylish. At least wear your own dresses, ladies! But more importantly, Etsy, please save us time by using photos of the work instead of the artist on the blog main page so that we know whether or not we're interested in reading further about the artist.
