Sheena put a huge smile on my face when she sent me these pics from her March 2010 wedding in Columbus Ohio. Her bridesmaids ordered the Pleated Collar Dress in Green Olive.

Custom Print Dress

I love this print! Jessica (fabulous model and returning client) commissioned me to make her rehearsal dinner dress based off the City Dreams Dress, using this cotton print from my favorite fabric store in San Francisco, Britex fabric. I loved having this print in my studio, so bright and cheerful.

Real Wedding: Haley!

I got a little misty eyed looking at Haley's wedding pics. She has been a wonderful client, having custom designed her dresses more than once. For Haley's lovely wedding on the northern California beach, we decided on an ivory cotton voile with silk dupioni trim, back flowing tie and criss cross detail. Beautiful combo for a beautiful setting!

Custom Ivory Dress

A recent custom project I've been working on, this was a special request by a wonderful client of mine, based off the white tiered full length dress, this is a shorter version in the ivory color way and custom colored silk tie in avocado. So much fun!

Winter Coat

I'm always designing dresses for special occasions, so when I have an opportunity to custom design a coat it's always a welcoming thrill. Besides my love of dresses, my first love is coats especially during this cold weather season. Here is a mock-up of my most recent commission, this is a beautiful Italian plaid & tweed wool fabric, super soft and thick, sooo lux! The wood buttons go nicely with the blonde and brown colors, also matches the rustic look of the fabric. I'll be posting the finished product soon....

Real Bride: Elizabeth!

Sneak peak at Elizabeth's November wedding snap shots, The dress is based off my extra full circle skirt w/ fitted bodice and tulle underlayer, custom made from iridescent "raspberry" silk.

Sarah's June Wedding PART II

As promised here are some pictures of Sarah's wedding dress which was custom designed: made from french lace and silk, v-neck front and back, fitted to the hi-hip with a soft drapey flare in skirt. Finished with beaded flower appliques of pearls and swarovski crystals.

These are some of the most elegant and beautiful dancing pictures I've seen, the bride and groom danced to the russian waltz, I love how it shows off the fullness in the skirt.
