Rose’s ‘Jump’ Dress. (beads galore!)

Whew! We finally finished our latest project! An Edwardian gown inspired by Rose’s ‘jump’ dress in the film Titanic. The beading was pretty intense work, but we think it was worth it. Click here to see the Etsy listing and more photos of the silk and tulle bead and crystal covered gown.

An Evening at Pemberly (Our new Regency gown!)

I have always loved the 1995 miniseries of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. So when I found a fabric in my stash that reminded me of one of the gowns Jennifer Ehle wore as Elizabeth Bennet, I knew we had a new project! We literally spent days embroidering the gown, but are so pleased with the finished product! Visit our Etsy shop to check it out now!

FIDM Debut 2012

Hi everyone! We are so sorry for the lack of posting lately. Hopefully we will be better about that:-)

Last week, I was able to attend The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising’s yearly debut. It was a fabulous show. I am always so impressed with the talent of the students, and come away inspired. This year, I especially loved the vintage inspired silhouettes such as high-waisted trousers. I was able to get some great photos, and thought I would share some of them with you today!

This glorious gown by designer Randy Lee Donato was, in my opinion, the highlight of the evening.

 

 

Here is a slideshow of some of the other wonderful designs. Enjoy!

Hello everyone! Today I decided to take my tea outside. It was a simply gorgeous day. Our fruit trees are in blossom, and the whole yard smells wonderful! While I was out, Lauren snapped a few pictures of me:-)

I hope you all enjoy them, and have a lovely day!
