There was a big party at the Hotel on Halloween last month and we were asked to create a jaw-dropping wedding piece for the event. It’s always fun to create with no limits! We only used the materials from the dress as it came, and fitted it much tighter with a dramatic trumpet train to […]

Katie bought this dress because of it’s stylish, casual comfort and versatility. It’s 100% silk and easy to wear to just about anything, but she felt it was a little drab and wanted to spruce it up. Enter yellow. Newly blonde (and fabulous), we thought this pale yellow was the perfect accent to complement the […]

Cassidy and her hubby had a very intimate, back-yard type of wedding reception. She wanted a dress that she could feel comfortable but still perfectly beautiful in next to her hubby’s seersucker suit! She started from the Rowan dress in our made-to-measure collection, and we took off the bottom two tiers, and added a subtle […]
