This morning, I would like to share a project I started during the holidays and finished in January. It’s a custom ordered girl’s Ukrainian baptismal gown. The embroidery was made by hand and then hand sewn to the handmade linen garment. The gown and cap are lined with silk charmeuse. The lace used along the hem is from France. This design will improve and change over time.I plan to start...
Hand Painted Lace Leotard
For the third year in a row, I’ve had the honor to make Miss Cataleya’s birthday leotard. This year, she chose the hand painted lace #5284 leotard with bright orange and yellow florals and back champagne buttons. The bodysuit is lined with shimmery gold rayon. This piece is custom made and part of the House of Godfrey Collection. Shop the leotard on the Anagrassia website here (Anagrassia tulle skirt is pictured...

I made this baptismal gown last spring for my nephew, Dmitri. It’s similar to the gown I made my other nephew (and others), except my sister chose bold colors instead of silvers, whites, and blues. The gown is hand embroidered with a traditional Ukrainian pattern and silk lined. ...
The NEW Bergé (Flower Girl) Dress
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. 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...
