Bluebell Dress

This dress was one of 6 that I created as bridesmaids' dresses for a fantasy wedding. Each bridesmaid represented a different flower. The bride designed the dresses, and I worked from her sketches. This skirt of this dress resembles a bluebell. I custom-dyed all of the silk dupioni that I used for this outfit, and airbrushed the edges of the “petals” of the skirt to give them more dimension. Each petal has a curved seam to mimic the flower it's modeled after, and is self-lined for a finished look. Under the petal pieces is a plain white silk skirt lining for modesty.

This bridal gown was created for a fantasy wedding. The bride designed her own dress, and I worked from her sketches to make it. I custom dyed all of the dupioni silk that this dress required, except for the accent fabric used for the pockets and jacket sash. It is comprised of 6 pieces- 2 long skirts with ruffles on the bottom (the inner most one is white), one star-shaped ¾ length skirt with silver trim, a white peasant-styled blouse, a steel-boned corset, and a tailed jacket. She wanted it in separate pieces so that she could mix-and-match them later for different events. The entire ensemble is decorated with various colors of Swarovski rhinestones and beads. The jacket has star-shaped pockets, epaulettes, and a large decorative bow in the back. The button holes on the jacket are surrounded by a appliques of comet tails, which are finished when the jacket is closed by the star-shaped buttons down the front. This dress required 55 yards of fabric!

This outfit is the groom's ensemble for a fantasy wedding. The bride designed her husband's costume, and I used her sketches to create it.

I custom-dyed all of the fabrics required for this costume.

I made this dress for a customer attending a fancy costumed event. She requested the style, and sent several reference pictures of her ideas, and I designed it based on that. It's made of iridescent polyester taffeta, with an iridescent polyester organza skirt overlay, and organza sleeves. I used a bronze colored trim around the under bust to give it an extra layer of detail.
