A bright, bright day...


I have had this beautiful pale lemon chiffon fabric lying around forever and had completely forgotton about it, untill i had a huge clearout last week.
Im going through a yellow phase at the moment. Not sure if it's the lack of sunshine but i feel my days need brightening up and finding this 'Sunshine' fabric definately did.

Now i need to make a top out of it..I shall make it my mission for this evening!
I'll add pictures of the result as soon as finished :)

A Tuscan wedding.....


Most of you now knows that i have had the honour of being picked for the design and making of the wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses for a Tuscan bride and it is really the most exciting project i have been working on.

We still have another year before the big day but with all planning,sketching and sourcing and last but not least, all fittings, the day they will tie the knot will be here in no time.

So, with the design of the wedding dress decided and the fabrics ordered, we can now start on the bridesmaids dresses.
I will go tulle hunting this week and hopefully we'll have that sorted as well :)

But first..i will enjoy my Mocha Frappucchino :)

I say Yes....!





I have just been commissioned to make a wedding dress and can't believe it. This is so so exciting and the ultimate challenge...my dream order!
But, i have got a big job ahead of me now...wouldn't want to mess this one up ;)

There will be a lot of fabric sampling, sketching and creating the next few months but as soon as it's ready, it will be on here so you can see :)

Wish me luck!

A beautiful day...!




I had my great friend Hanne's wedding this weekend and had to make a dress for the big event.
Dusky pinks, light blues and beige are colours women tend to go for so my thought was to put a stop to this tradition and opted for a long coral number.
Can't go wrong with a maxi!

To Hanne & Vidar: Enjoy NY and l'chaim !

Also available to order: £190

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

I dyed and went to heaven...




I love dyeing fabrics, especially silks..you never know what will come out.
This time i chose i beige silk chiffon fabric and used a Burlesque red for some interesting effects. Wow, i loved it!
I couldn't leave the fabric there so had to make something straight away. Got a big do in a few weeks and this dress will be perfect for it :)

If i had wings....





I fell head over heels in love with this fabric and couldn't wait to make something from it.
Really soft but heavy chiffon fabric with great drape - covered in owl wings.

This is a waterfall kimono style top with trumpet sleeves.
THIS ONE'S MINE!! :)but i have enough fabric left to make another so if you want it, email me. I can make it in any size.
