We Want Peach Berserk`s Online Dress Designer

silkscreen classes

For the punkier prom-goer, dress shopping along Queen West is a rite of passage and a welcome relief from cookie-cutter mall frocks. Peach Berserk is free-thinking formal gown ground zero because of owner Kingi Carpenter`s custom prints and retro styles. Now she`s letting shoppers in on her design process with the Friday April 10th launch of an Online Dress Designer at peachberserk.com. Pick from bodice skirt and sleeve styles, and from more than 200 fabric prints. Her staff will stitch it up in a week for the off-the-rack price of $395.

    “Hello Kingi and other amazing people at Peach Berserk,

    I received my wedding dress today.I have to tell you that I’ve noticed a certain expression on the faces of people when I have mentioned to them that I ordered my wedding dress online solely on the basis of your website, without ever having been in the store or seen your work in person. The set of their face, the look in their eyes says “oh-dear-poor-deluded-woman.” I opened the box slowly, realized I was holding my breath. When I saw that glorious splash of painted roses, my breath burst out as astonishment and laughter. I undressed immediately, zipped up the dress and slipped it carefully over my head. I am beautiful in this dress. It is the me I feel I am inside, magically revealed on the outside. And then the jacket. Oh my, the jacket. I didn’t want to put it on at first. How could anything cover this amazing dress. But I did put it on, and turned to look in the mirror. And somehow the jacket makes the dress even more perfect and beautiful. Then I had to weep for a while. A lot of words to say just this – thank you. I feel the love in the dress.”

    “Thank you so much for making the most beautiful, perfect dress I’ve ever seen in my life!!!

    “Hi Kingi and Allan
    thank you again for the great silkscreen class. I left Toronto with a smile and completely satisfied with all the learnings and the experiences I made these 2 days. It worth every penny of my trip! I also made a light table and I’m setting a small studio to continue printing.. thanks again for everything… You made my summer!”

    “To the girls at Peach Berserk,
    I love my custom hoodie! The silhouettes & roses look great together.
    Thank you for the tank top, it was so thoughtful of you.”

    Elaine Reeves – Toronto ON

    “I just received my dress that I bought on ebay and I adore it. It is quite possibly the best thing I have ever spent money on. When I found out you did custom work I almost fell on the floor!! I would love an Edie Sedgwick hoodie. To tell you the truth, I would take item in your lovely store with Edie on it.”

    Karla Cribbs

    “I bought your fabulous punk rock print dress (with the cute pink fringe and flowers!) for prom, and felt absolutely dazzling in it. (Got a ton of compliments too!) At prom I noticed a friend of mine, Emily also had a beautiful dress from Peach Berserk! ”

    Lindsay Goeldner – Toronto ON

    “I wore my “Boardwalk Babe” dress every day on my trip to New Orleans last week- it was a record heatwave, so I only packed cute sundresses to wear. The guys at the Zydeco Dance, the waiter at Napoleon House, and the lady sitting next to me on the St. Charles streetcar all loved it, and no matter how hot it got, I always felt glam!”

    Maura Burns – West Virginia

    The most flattering dress I’ve ever had!

    Lisa Bryant – Oakville ON

    “Peach Berserk is worth coming back to Canada for!”

    Rebecka – Stockholm Sweden

    “I first came to this store as a little girl with my mother about 17 years ago. To me Peach Berserk is an institution to Toronto that has survived the rapidly occuring Queen West gentrification process. They embody the funky and original clothing design creativity that Queen West used to be.”

    Kendall Coontz – Toronto ON

    “My friend tried on a dress and I immediately wanted it. Peach Berserk brings out the jealousy in you!”
