Custom Wedding Dress

One of my recent clients came in January and wanted me to re-create a wedding dress she saw in a magazine. Though she loved the dress, she wanted to include a few ideas of her own. 3 of her mother's friends recommended me to help her create her own dress. We discussed the details and looked over the pictures she had in mind. In March, she brought over the fabrics and we went to work. This dress was made completely off the pictures she brought in, with the collaborative creative designs of the bride and myself. The dress was made of silk with a detachable train. The back of the dress was especially hard to complete. I also created a matching silk tie for the groom that matched with the brides brown sash. The finished product was amazing and her wedding in Hawaii was perfect. Enjoy the pictures!

Summer Weddings

May and June have been very busy this year, with many brides coming in for Spring and Summer weddings. But each special bride also has a special dress...

At the beginning of the month, Kal came to my shop with only 18 days before the wedding date. We had to take in the bust, shorten the 6 layers of the dress, and create a french bustle. The 6 layers of shortening were especially difficult because of the material and the stitching was very small.  Even though I had  many other projects on my hands as well, I was still able to complete this project in 10 days.

My neighbor, Heidi of Heidi Lee Portraits, happened to see Kal come in for a fitting and took pictures for us. We only had one fitting due to time constraints, but when Kal left with the dress, it was a perfect fit. She was overjoyed and she looked beautiful.

Enjoy!
