Dress Making Report: I LOOOOOVE Gold!

Twelve yards of sparkly golden tulle was spread all over my studio floor as I began to create this ahhhhhmazing skirt for a photo shoot at the end of January. This soft yet BOLD fabric left an imprint on me ❤. Everything in my house is now covered in golden sparkles, but who doesn't love a little bit of that kind of dust!

The shoot was fantastic, I love working with like minded and creative people! Whimsical with an edge, this skirt was brought to life as the model put it on. Her make-up done by Sacha was fierce and beautiful, she has an incredible way of enhancing everything she touches. Thank you so much for including me and I can't wait to do a little something more with this golden beauty.

Dress Making Report: Oh my Lace

Who doesn't just LOVE lace?! It is definitely one of my favourite fabric, it comes in all different textures, weights and colours. You can use it to dress up any dress, top, skirt, or even jean shorts. When your a designer fabric shopping is your happy place. Where you can find that perfect one to create something basically out of nothing.

Every single time I shop for a client and I find that exact fabric I was looking for, O-M-G such an awesome feeling! I know she's going to love it and it gets us so much closer to making all her dress dreams come true. Now, some clients can be very vague when it comes to the fabric, colour etc and others can be so specific, I may have to dig through piles and bins to find that needle in a hay stack. BUT, when finding that exact colour in the lace overlay and lets say a satin underlay, it's like the universe knew I would go crazy if I don't get exactly what I am looking.

That's when this amazing dress for a Momma on her baby's baptism day was born! I love the uniqueness of this dress and oh that keyhole back. My client loved it oh so much.

"Getting my custom dress from Amanda was great. The dress was made for my daughters baptism and I received a lot of compliments on it! Having two kids doesn't leave me with a lot of time but Amanda was accommodating knowing this. She also altered and changed the bow on my older daughters dress to match my dress. My whole family matched :) The Dress made me feel pretty and it was very comfy. What's great is, it can be altered if I ever need because it's custom! Love it!"

Dress Making Report: Grade 8 Grad

I have had the pleasure of working with some lovely young ladies. They're ideas. options and ideas have been so wonderful to create. I have been able to add to my skill list and take on some obstacles that were fun and exciting. When putting a dress together, it is so much like a puzzle, having to be patient and know that I can always figure out a more difficult one. I am so happy that I learn from each client and dress that I create, which is one of the very reasons I loooooove what I do!

I can not wait to see these amazing girls all dolled up, while the complete a big chapter in their lives. Next is high school and that is a whole new ball game! Hopefully I can see how much they have grown by the time prom comes, (sorry Moms, not rushing it!). I've seen how they shine and I am so happy to be apart of it.

My Own Projects: A Sexy Print Dress

Sometimes while creating many items, my mind runs wild with ideas. I can not seem to help but have inspirations and make them come alive. That is where this amazingly sexy dress came from! 

This dress can be worn to work, a night out with the girls or a date with a special man. I am really excited to wear this one, it brings out that part of me that is irresistible. As soon as I put it on, I feel fabulous and sexy. Great things will come from wearing this dress, I know it! 

What I want for my clients is exactly the same thing I want for myself, to feel incredible in the clothing she put on. Because honestly, what is the point of just wearing clothes. Let them be more than that. Wear something because it opens you up to new and wonderful possibilities. To an unknown world of love and greatness!  My job is done, when she puts that dress on, at that final fitting and her face lights up brighter then the first day we met. That is why I do what I do, to help illuminate the beauty in each woman that I meet. I know that she will go to work or where ever event is and light up that entire place with her fabulous presence.

Dress Making Report: A Fun and Flirty dress

This dress was so lovely to create, from finding the fabric to piecing it together. I loved every minute of it. The lace overlay is gorgeous and the sleeves give it an elegance you just can not deny. To be worn for two weddings, my client was so pleased with the outcome, she had to put it on again when she got home from picking it up. I am so happy to help her illuminate the room with her presence in this beautiful piece. I can not wait to see the photographs.

Dresses should be made to be versatile as often as possible. I believe that with this one you can dress it up or down and wear it all throughout the year.

Every time you wear a dress it should help you to feel radiant and free. Free to be exactly yourself and comfortable throughout your entire day or event. I know what it feels like to be uncomfortable in your own skin and it helps so much to wear a piece of clothing that helps dissolve those feelings. A.M.E.G.

Spring and Summer Events!

My oh my, spring and summer events of all shapes and sizes are upon us. From proms, weddings and fashion shows I am starting to get very busy with custom dress orders! A few of these orders are very dear to my heart, as they are to be apart of one of my best friends weddings in Havana. But stay tuned for later on in the summer for sneak peeks of all those lovely creations.

As for right now, I am creating dresses for weddings, grade 8 graduations and fashion shows. I love that each of these dresses are so different and I can really have some fun. Not to mention my wonderful clients that I get to work with. I will be posting more of these with in the next few months. Really, I just wanted to share because I am so excited to help illuminate these women for these events with each piece. I know they will all go to their events and light up the whole room! This is my whole goal, my reason for being a custom dress designer, to relieve whatever insecurity she may have about her body and watch how radiant she becomes in her perfect bespoke fit dress. All women deserve this, and if I can do this for even just one, well then I have done my job.
