Photo shoot September 2013

I was very lucky to have a professional photographer Justyna come to my home in September with some lovely ladies who took time out to model for me.
It's the first time I've ever had my clothing worn by anyone other than myself and my not so flattering tailors dummies, so you can imagine how excited I was for this opportunity!
The results blew me away and here are a few to show you...

Crochet neck pieces~

I made these necklaces and chokers using strips of t-shirt fabric, with added buttons, lace and other vintage and found objects.

Wedding dresses

I have had the pleasure of making some unique wedding dresses for some lovely ladies recently.
Thanks to my facebook page and word of mouth I was contacted and asked if I could create something that combined the ideas and dreams of my clients and my individual, quirky style.
Each dress was a challenge and although I found it quite stressful at times, I loved making my very first corset style bodice, ordering special tartan cloth (even if it took me ages to make the first cut),
finding beautiful pieces of vintage lace and linens that would go with each dress, gathering up different fabrics and piecing them together...adding details and seeing the finished garments.
The best part had to be seeing the photos of the weddings themselves and knowing that everything was perfect.
