Alexandra came to me a couple months ago and needed a prom dress. She gave me the freedom to make her any dress I want. So I made her this popular drapy peach color chiffon dress: easy to wear, light and flowry. Remind me of the 1930's/40's glam. She live in Pa but she flew into NYC to see friends, so made it easy for us to meet. The pics below are from our last meet/fitting. We had a little fun prancing around and taking a few pics.
I went through a friend's blog post at Bespoke Affairs about Vera Wang designing a line for David's Bridal and was wondering "where have I been?". The news came out April 20th, a month ago. So realized that I have been working tirelessly for the past month. It had been a gruesome month of hard labor: staying up til midnight everynight, had a stiff neck for 1 week and a bit of a sore throat the past few days had me going through the cabinets looking for VITAMINs!!haha I love every bit of this. That's why I want to thank everyone who have trusted me to be part of their wedding day, prom, Bat Mitzvah... It's been a wonderful 1st year by myself. More than I can hope for for a brand new business. I had been working in the industry for the past 10 years and never have I been as happy as I am right. Working with everyone and making dreams come alive is pretty magical.
Some people have asked why I don't mass-produce and go big? Quite honestly, I've worked for big companies and once the business gets bigger, every Monday morning, it's all about the sales/money report. My passion is crafting dresses, pretty things. Once it's bigger, I will be too busy managing. I kinda like being a designer: playing with my camera once in a while if I feel like it(sorry I am not the best photographer ..for now). I get to interact with my clients which is something I never ever got to do. Real world of fashion: We sketch behind the computer, send it overseas and really don't get to see much til it's finished and deliverd onto the selling floor. pretty sad. Now starting my 30's, I feel very accomplished, even though my business is really just "me" and some help sometimes. But nothing beats an email inquiry at least once a week telling how they love my work! What more can any designer ask for?
In the real world, not everyone is a size 6 and 5'9. This is where I come in to help those who would like a custom fitted dress, so you don't have to find a tailor to shorten, take in or let out after you bought the"perfect" dress.
Come and enjoy a whole new experience; from the process of describing to me what you love to magazine scraps and drawing it on paper. Then to taking your measurements, fitting the 1st proto-types and finally seeing for yourself the finish product.You can indulge in the entire custom-making process tailored just to you. Feel what a difference it makes when you can be involve in creating "the dress" you have always imagined!!
Remember, nothing is impossible. Just ask.
