Ukrainian Hand Embroidered Dress in Honor of My Babcha My Babcha was a special woman. Her story is quite remarkable and the lessons she taught me were even more so. I only hope to be as strong as her and pass on her spirit to others. Aside from her wisdom, her love of sewing was passed on to me. My babcha was an incredible seamstress! She was self taught and...
Stoles are a sign of one being ordained in the Catholic Church. So it’s only fitting for a new priest to receive a special hand-embroidered stole for his ordination.

This design will improve and change over time.I plan to start...
Here are some photos of the new Bergé Dress. (Some photos show the early skirt samples- with no embroidery and different fabrics.) Ukrainian Easter eggs, Imperial Fabergé eggs and Beranger, a musician who I worked with while I finalized the dress design, inspired the design and name, Bergé.
