When Sara came to me, her dress was too small! (Yep... a mix-up at the bridal shop.) So, I completely rebuilt the back of the dress. I also traded in that zipper for some beautiful buttons.
I love a dramatic picture! ----------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Reeja (on the right) came to me with a beautiful ballgown. It needed to be reshaped at the hips, hemmed (lots of lace, folks) and of course, bustled. I was so pleased with the end result. Sparks flew as she got married on the Fourth of July! |

Updating Her Mother's Wedding Dress. _Shannon came to me with her mom's dress from the 80's (complete with those big puffy sleeves). I also happened to have a vintage gown (donated to me from a dear family friend) from the 50's sitting in my spare room closet. That dress had trim on it in the form of knife-pleats (very skinny pleats). I used that lace to trim Shannon's dress around the bottom and on the custom-made sleeves that were added. I also placed over 140 buttons trailing down the back. ---->>>
Mini-Mony! |
Alyssa (left) like many brides during 2020 was having a mini-mony. She brought me this fun pleated dress. It had long sleeves and she really didn't want to sweat on her wedding day. I shorted the lace on the sleeves which resulted in creating a beautiful eyelash trim. I also took in the sides so she wasn't swimming in her dress. She looks so pretty! (and don't you LOVE that pleated skirt?
