Audrey Hepburn's Funny Face Wedding Dress










I have been asked so many times about making this dress and i finally got to do it! I used a beautiful medium weight silk satin and an ivory dotted tulle for the over skirt and the cape. My client wanted the shoulders to have little gathers as well as at the bust. The body has four darts front and back with boning. There is a built in petticoat as well as horse hair in the hem. The cape buttons on the inside of the neckline in the back with a hair comb hidden under the little bow of the hood. Below are the images i found most helpful when working on this dress. It really is so pretty in person i almost didn't want to box it up and send it on its way :-)

Custom Pinup Sarong Wedding Dress




This was a custom designed dress, there were several elements that my bride was looking for so i did a sketch to put them all together. She chose a light ivory scalloped lace and a more mate bridal satin. I lined the front skirt drape in lace for a little contrast. Sweetheart neckline bodice lining with boning support. Elbow lace sleeves. The dress is fully lined and finished with a matching covered belt.

Elizabeth Taylor-White Halter Dress

Happy New year everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season.  I am slowly getting back to work and adjusting to working in a very stop and go manor with a baby in the house. I have finished a few items that i have made before so i wont bother posting those but i did make something new! Styled after a photo of Elizabeth Taylor in a white halter dress, see below




 I happened across a great deal on ivory taffeta and i found this lace on Etsy that i just had to order, so I made a sample dress, it is still available for sale at half price right now because i got such a great deal on the fabric! I used a vintage belt kit, i just love them i wish they weren't so hard to find.
