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.

Knit Dress with Ruffle Hem

   * Considering how versatile knit is, I wonder why I waited so long to make knit dresses. Think about it: no need for a zipper (and the precise placement that comes with it). The 1st one was the black & white maxi and this is my 2nd. The dress in this post was created using another dress as a pattern. I got to use my serger for all the side and joining seams and for gathering the ruffles. Easy, peasy, beautiful.
