The moment I saw this pleated dress pattern, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! I’ve been holding on to this linen for some time now and I’m excited to finally use it for the right project. The hand of the linen is heavy and flexible, so it’s beautiful and perfect for this dress design! I’ve been swamped with orders and alterations recently. So when I came across a contest,...
Follow Marusya Marusya on Twitter @theanagrassia or Instagram @marusyagrace to see WIP* photos. *Work In Progress Here’s my second vintage inspired swimsuit. (View my first bustier bathing suit top here.) It’s another boned bustier top made with a polyester/rayon fabric. I recently tested my first bustier swimsuit in sun, water & chlorine.

This is by far my least favorite time of the year. Between giving up daily pleasures during Lent, doing taxes, and the gloomy weather, I dread March and early April!

This time, I asked them to...

What makes a holiday even better than any ordinary day? Designing your very own outfit for the day! As much as I loved creating my Easter outfits over the years, I never attempted to create my own Christmas/holiday party dresses. Typically I’m swamped with work and usually wear slacks because of the freezing temperatures! So regardless of those things, this year I made it my goal to start & finish a dress for...
