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: 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,

My Own Projects: A dress for VEGAS!

My mom and I will be going to Vegas in just a few short weeks now and I am so excited! I decided after my 'drafting course', that I would wear that dress in Vegas for our Cirque du Soleil night. But I wanted something else to wear for our dinner night out. So I drew something up, found a fabric in my stash and got to work. I love the asymmetric style, shorter in the front and long in the back. As the 'skirt' I made last summer for a wedding is just like that. This dress is flowing and light with a hint of sassy-ness!

My Own Projects: A Dress for a Very Special Wedding

I made this dress to wear to my Dad's wedding back in July and totally forgot to post it! This was an unbelievably, amazing day and I am so glad to share it now with all of you.

My own projects: A Skirt

This is a skirt I made for a wedding I will be attending next weekend. I love how easy the pattern for this dress, it was only two pieces! Floral and flowing perfect for a summer wedding.
