Recreation Marchesa Gown (September 12, 2009)This is something I'm working on for Brooke's wedding in September. I fell in LOVE with the original inspiration dress which was a Marchesa... I did not however, fall in love with the $5600 price tag O_O.
I will be making my version for MUCH less. |

DKNY Christmas Dress (December 5, 2008)This is the folder for the progress of my DKNY dress that I'm making for Will's office holiday party. Last year I wore my mother's vintage green dress that I made the clutch, belt, and show clips for. This year I'm going a tiny bit less formal but still stylin ;-) Silk Charmeuse and Silk Chiffon come together with Silk satin ribbon accents. This is a dress I can wear after the party as regular casual wear. It can be dressed up or down :-)

Purple Greecian Goddess (April 2, 2008)This is a dress for my auditions for Project runway. I wanted to show one of my costumes, a RTW, and an evening. I've always loved the drape and feel of silk chiffon over a layer of charmeuese, so that's what this dress is made of. A beautiful plum charmeuese under layer with a black silk chiffon overlay, and a silk flower at the shoulder, it will be 'tied' with a satin ribbon or a ruched chiffon belt, I haven't quite decided yet.

Project Runway Challenge Dress (March 9, 2008)I based this of a challenge idea to create a garment based off an animal. I chose my cat, Leia, as my inspiration.
The dress has a vintage flair to it while still remaining modern. The burnout velvet is similar in sheen to Leia's fur and the charmeuse was her favorite to eat ;-) She reminds me of 1950's lady, she sits up straight with that coy look in her eyes. |

My Wedding Dress Update! 05-22-06
A few sneak peaks at the almost done dress :-)
Update! 04-20-06
My hoop skirt came in, yay! So I naturally placed the mock-up on top and all the gathers I worked so hard on, looked terrible on the hoop. Soooo, I took them ALL out and re-did them until I was happy with it. I'm gratefull this hoop was adjustable because it was QUITE full when I tried it on lol. I looked like a bell basically. Anyway, I have pics of the new crinoline with the re-done mock-up :-)
Update! 04-18-06
I added photos of the 2nd mock-up dress :-) In two weeks I'll be cutting into the good fabric.
Here are pictures of my dress in the making and all the inspiration along the way. I also have shots of the Bridesmaids dresses here too. |

Summer Halter Dress Made from an embroidered linen that my mother gave me and a pattern that I drafted based on another dress I own.
Things I'd change, I need to adjust the pattern piece on the bust because it sticks out. I've fixed this problem on my garment by folding it down and securing it with a decorative pin. Otherwise it fits me perfectly. My dress form has a much bigger neck then me - mine is only 12" around, the form is like 17" or something crazy like that. |
