About Dianna

Hello, lovely visitors! I'm Dianna, the creative force behind Circle Skirt Central. I'm not just a designer; I'm a wife and mother of two beautiful girls. They inspire me every day to do what I love—designing new clothes—while also striving to change the way we buy and wear our garments with sustainable practices.

From a young age, I couldn't resist the allure of fashion and the magic of crafting unique garments. At just five years old, I would sneak into my mother's fabric scraps and meticulously cut out Barbie clothes. My favorites were those crafted into circle skirts—oh, how I adored the way they twirled and transformed my dolls into elegant little divas. It was a sign of my early fascination with the world of fashion.

My true fashion adventure began at the age of fourteen when I yearned for clothing as unique as my personality. Hand-me-downs from my older sister and pieces from the girls at church no longer satisfied my desire for individuality. That's when my mother introduced me to the world of sewing. With her guidance, I learned to thread a sewing machine and began my journey as a self-taught seamstress. My very first creation was a simple skirt made from sewing together three triangles and fashioning a drawstring waistband. It might not have been perfect, but it was uniquely mine, and I wore it with pride for years.

As a teenager, my cinematic inspiration came from the movie "Dirty Dancing." I couldn't help but dream of dancing in full skirts that flared out as I twirled. My second "real" sewing project marked the birth of my love for circle skirts. I decided to create a full circle skirt made from layers of poly chiffon, as close as I could get to the iconic pink skirt worn by Penny in the film. I cherished it so much that I couldn't stop making and perfecting them.

My passion for fashion led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from the Art Institute of Las Vegas. Since then, I've embarked on a career as a technical fashion designer. Making technical packages for many brands. My journey has been filled with countless circle skirts created and refined, and today, I'm thrilled to share my favorite obsession with all of you through Circle Skirt Central.

My mission is to offer you circle skirts that evoke the timeless beauty of the past while being tailored for the present. As I continue to evolve and explore the world of fashion, I'm excited to see where this journey takes me. My future goals include opening my own make-on-demand factory, mastering the art of dance and lyra, and embarking on adventures that will take me to all corners of the globe.

Thank you for joining me on this incredible fashion adventure. Explore our collection, twirl with grace, and make each circle skirt the canvas for your own story. Let's celebrate the beauty of yesteryears' fashion together.

With love and twirls,
