I recently made a junior bridesmaid dress for a returning customer. She ordered the Communion Style dress with long sleeves. (More details below) It was quite fitting to make the girl a tulle or tutu style dress for a wedding that took place on Tuesday 2–22-22. The girl’s friend was also in attendance, and she wore a hand-me-down Anagrassia (Communion Style) dress. Both girls looked very chic and beautiful at...
A couple weeks ago, a lady asked me to (literally) whip up a bridesmaid dress for her!

The shoulders were a bit too wide...

This design is for the fun and chic girls! There’s a separate petticoat to wear under the skirt- for a fuller/bubble appearance. (Gigi is not wearing the petticoat in the b/w...
Here are a few photos of a recent custom order (designed by the bride). I absolutely love how the outfit turned out! I used Alencon Ivory lace and Cream Poly/Spandex for the lining and underlining of the blouse and shorts. The blouse was self drafted to fit the bride & I used a Burdastyle shorts sewing pattern (with adjustments) as a guide for the shorts pattern. Side Invisible Zipper...
