The Calling of the Artist
Marusya
Ukrainian Seamstress Tailor Mary Grace Godfrey

The best things in life uplift us. I am not talk­ing about ele­va­tors when we need to get to the top floor, (although that is nice).

Blush Pink Lace and Silk Cotton Easter Dress for Izzy
Marusya
easter dress blush pink silk lace

I loved cre­at­ing this cus­tom ordered East­er dress for Izzy!  The dress is made with pink lace and lined (& under­lined) with blush pink silk & cot­ton fabric. This dress looks pret­ti­er in per­son than in pho­tos. The pink is light with a peach col­or undertone.  I rarely wear pink, but I would def­i­nite­ly wear this pink col­or and dress style! Lined and under­lined with beau­ti­ful silk cot­ton fabric...
