Lacy Goodness Continued

As promised in the August post of Ms. N's blue and pink dress (here), here's more on the gold fabric that she dropped off.

It was the Aso-Ebi fabric for a friend's wedding on 9/12 which is also my dad's birthday :).
She sent me a picture of a gold midi dress and asked for the same thing and I'm so happy she was pleased with what I delivered.

Stay tuned ... I'll show you what I make with the remnant and some red crepe fabric.

Enjoy the pictures and video below.

Lady in Gold

I got matching silk lining fabric

It's got a slit and the inside seams were covered in bias tape to prevent any itching from the sequins on the lace.

Ready for a fitting

I took it in after the fitting and it no longer fit on my dress form but here's the final dress.

Took a video while she was posing for pictures. :)

I didn't have an Aso-Ebi outfit but I wanted to join in and show my support so I made a fold-over clutch.

Perhaps I will write a tutorial on that ...

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.
