jacque

let me introduce you to my dear friend, jacque and let me assure you that there is none other made quite like her. a smile that goes for miles and a heart that's more beautiful than many i have known. not to mention the most wonderfully amusing sense of humor.

AND I get to make her wedding dress! 

can't wait to keep you posted on the design
and construction along the way.

look for updates soon on fabric choice and sketches...

this should be fun!

ooooohhhhhh

yeah! yesterday i was mentioned on HEMLINE's blog for my designs 

for the la femme fashion show...check it out...

once upon a time...

i got married...to the most wonderful man...sigh...

(which isn't at all the point of this post,
but must be said none the less). :)

below are a few pictures of my wedding dress. this was my first genuinely extensive project. i wanted to create something that was uniquely me and that incorporated a bit of nostalgia and history. i was inspired by a piece from my grandmother's trousseau. (it's the piece on the bodice with the covered buttons and hand lacework). absolutely beautiful and of course sentimental. the rest of the dress was simply a modern extension from that piece. 

made from charmeause silk.

sweet

a long month and half, but well worth the time spent.

worn beautifully and just what the ladies ordered.
