Who's The Worst?

 

Worst Western is a business powered by one woman, me. This business is black owned, Cuban Owned, and Mexican owned. I am all three, I’m Diana Williams. I started learning how to sew in 2012 in ATX, and since then I haven't stopped. Back in 2013 I officially opened the Worst Western Etsy shop, the Etsy shop no longer exists and now I have my own website. Over the years I've made one-off garments, custom costumes, swim suits, lingerie, and have helped people with alterations.

Right now everything has changed. My focus has switched from garment making. With the pandemic I had to “switch gears” and have been making face masks since March 2020. It was also important to me to offer free face masks to those who didn’t have access to them. For something so simple, it has taken a lot of drive. Making masks everyday can be repetitive and boring, but I make sure to use my years of skills for a sturdy product. I can’t wait until the day I can phase out face masks. and go back to designing more garments.

My mission is to make clothing for every body type, no matter what gender. I do this by offering custom sizing and I don’t have a limit to what sizes I can produce. I am on the "larger" side of the general sizing chart, and I've always been sick of the poor design choices big designers make for us. Every brand has a different size chart which also doesn’t help us much. Not only am I moving towards making clothing for everyone, I am moving towards being more sustainable. An awesome local fabric store I shopped at in Tucson for 5 years has now closed, so i don’t have access to fabrics that need a second life or vintage fabrics. Now my focus has shifted to buying from black owned fabric sellers, or to small sellers online. I also buy fabric that may be thrown away due to lack of sales or interest. The word “sustainable” doesn’t have a definition when it comes to fashion, and is usually a term used to market more stuff to consumers. So right now, Worst Western shops for fabric with as much integrity as possible.

Thank you so much for your strong support over the years, and for investing in a black owned business.
