A quick look at the quality of work I can give you.

It's been a while since I posted this link, and I hope it still works.  These great pictures were taken some time ago by my photographer friend, Rita Finn, who has since tragically and unexpectedly passed.  It's nice to have her work live on.  Unfortunately, there aren't many pics of more formal pieces designed - but I've certainly done a myriad of them!  I'll try to get organized and find some to post.

Here are a few more pics that I happened to think to snap myself.

 On the right is a Pinterest photo of a Valentino coat (in Valentino red, no less!) sent to me by a client. She wanted a slightly larger bow, which you can see on the final result on the right, done in a gorgeous wool cashmere form B&J Fabrics in NYC.

A classy update on a wrapped, buttoned and belted trench coat.  And a  close-up of the bound buttonholes you should expect in a truly custom garment and the kind of beautiful lining you can opt for (and will never see in ready to wear!) when you have something made we've designed together.

Great news coming soon, but in  the meantime, please bear with me and consider this blog in the midst of remodeling.  In a short time I'll have all kinds of new photos and ideas and ways to reach me when I can be of service.  I've really let time slip away and have ignored my blog, but soon  I'll be up and rolling with lots of inspirations.  Hang in there with me, please!

Let's talk mother-of-the-bride

Face it.  Finding the right dress for the "mother ofs" in a wedding can be every bit as daunting as finding the perfect dress for the bride. We've all been  to weddings where the mother looked like she must have "settled" for the dress she's wearing.  And then we've all been to weddings where mom looks painfully dowdy, or even worse, like she decided to compete with the bride  (WAY worse).  It can become a huge task to find a dress off the rack that is appropriate, suits the bride, that is the right color for you, the right color for the wedding, the right style for your individual shape, and - almost an afterthought - fits!  A mother can find herself wishing if only I could have those sleeves, on this silhouette, with that neckline, in this color and that length, that actually fits like it was made for me.  Well, it is possible  Time to look into custom dress making.  Together we will create the perfect dress - that fits......like it's made for you, because it was.
