Custom Garters!
I have made a couple cute garters this wedding season that I thought I would share! This first one I made using lace from the bride’s mother’s dress! So sweet! For this one I reused fabric cut from the hem of one of the bridesmaid’s dresses, I love the horseshoe charm! Garters are such a […]
Custom Wedding Gown (with beadwork from India!)
Melinda brought in a lovely skirt and top from India that she wanted to wear at her wedding, however the pieces didn’t fit very well and the fabric was very delicate.

Adding sleeves or straps is a nice way to customize a strapless dress. Then you can have the dress of your dreams without […]
Flower girl
Ok, so this dress wasn’t for a wedding, but it could have been! Jamelle Kelly of Cameron + Kelly Studios commissioned me to make a dress for her little girl. She picked the cutest fabric! I based the design of the dress on The Party Dress by The Cottage Home. Because the pattern is only […]
