Constructing current work, sketching the next. Repeat process daily! 🙂

Details matter. Each pleat must be finessed into place, aside from being pinned! Did you know that when working with fine silks…that we replace our needles every 6-8 hours?This prevents potential damage to delicate textiles so seamlines look effortless…this creates a beautiful foundation so we can move on to a stunning hand finish. 🙂

Iwas finally able to finish and show off our new “Anastasia” gown model and Adam wore his new custom set of formal tails at the Social Daunce Irregulars 2017 Holiday Grand Ball. A lovely time was spent visiting with friends, then we snuck home early to enjoy a late night supper- a lovely evening! 🙂
Here are a few pictures from the evening. First, we start with the obligatory “selfie”… 🙂

And now the two of us…


And another close-up of me and the Anastasia dress:

And Adam:

I had to step away for a bit due to my work schedule, but I’m back and armed wit a huge amount of pretty corsets and fluffy gowns. <3 Today I’m editing photos and getting ready for the next phase of gorgeous gown orders…and not touching a machine until tomorrow! 🙂
