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: Flower Girl Dress

Isn't she the sweetest? This is one happy little client of mine, she was so excited for her dress. I think this day was the most she spoke to me. After putting it on she was spinning and jumping around, "oh Amanda it's beautiful and it spins up to my waist", words I can't seem to forget. But WHY would I? She is my youngest client to choose the style she wanted and a big pink bow for the back. I also decked out a flower girl basket , which she "walk down the isle" of my living room with. I love kids they are just so joyful and excited about everything! A lot like me most of the time. In addition to her Mom's wedding dress, I also created a ring bearer pillow for the wedding. All in all I am super excited to see the pictures from Jamaica! 

Your Designer,

The 2015 Oscars: My Favourite Dresses of the Night

Rita Ora
 in Marchesa

I thought it was so completely necessary for me, being a dress designer, to choose my favourite dresses from the 2015 Oscars. Now my choices aren't based primarily on the look, as the construction is one of my main focuses. Some of these amazing pieces I'm sure took hours, days, even weeks to create and for that I think they should be honored. Also, these amazing women who are wearing them, look fabulous, whether it is your cup of tea or not. I love red carpets, they bring out some amazing fashions!

This is so sweet, I offered to make her a hat so he could have something hand made and wonderful to wear in one of his winter photos.
