It's Orange; It's Backless

* Hi there!!! The weather is warmer and we are coming out of hibernation - hurray!!!!
Today's post is to showcase a custom order for one of my best clients; Miss N. She sent me a couple of style inspiration pictures and explained what she wanted: the sleeves from one picture, the backless style and collar from the other and the rest from her creative mind.
We've had the first fitting and I'm looking forward to delivering the finished dress soon.

Orange & Green, Long Sleeves on Long Dresses

* Hi there. For this week's post, I am featuring 2 long sleeve dresses I recently made for 2 ladies in my church; RCCG Love Assembly (@rccgloveassembly).

The first one (orange) was for Mrs. K to wear to our Mother's Day (5/10) service. She wanted something fitting, long sleeves and a fishtail silhouette.
Every year, the mothers (Virtuous Women) pick a fabric and they all show up in coordinating outfits.
You can just feel the love and oneness. Also, all the married women and mothers (including visitors) go home with a gift every year.

The second one (green) was for Ms. G to wear to her nephew's baby dedication (5/17). She had been away in school and gave me her fabric with only 3 days to make the dress (time crunch!!!).
I'm so happy it fit her perfectly the first time and she told me she loves it soooo much.

The best part for me was seeing them dancing and looking at home in their dresses.

Thank you ladies for the support.

Black and White at the AABE 2015 National Conference

* Hi everyone, first off I apologize for skipping last week's post. With everything going on last week, it skipped my mind and I did have more videos from the fashion show in the last post. I'll put those up later.
Lesson learned: use the 'schedule posting' functionality provided; it is your friend. :)
** Last week, I was in North Carolina for the 2015 conference of the American Association of Blacks in Energy. When packing for the trip, I decided to 'drink my own kool-aid' and take ZCD pieces (ZCD ==> ZiChiE Designs). After I packed the first 2, I realized I could go for black and white for the entire conference and that's what I did.
