Start Wearing Purple

Nicole, a super gorgeous friend (above) asked me to make her a dress recently for a wedding she was going to in her home town Canada. I was really flattered to have been asked, it's a strange thing with friends, you try not to ask too much of them I suppose, the offer of a dress is always there but you don't want to push your nearest and dearest into feeling awkward about a having to wear a dress that may not be quite their style.

Luckily Nicole knew exactly what she wanted and it was one of my dresses and when she put it on, with me more nervous than usual (another reason making for friends is awkward) it couldn't have been more perfect. She has this luminous bronze skin that made the purple pop like I've never seen before, like it was radiating purple violet beams and fitted her like a glove. 

She was very kind and brave to model for me, she photographs amazingly well as you can see and it's only the clenched fists that give her away from being a pro. I will be pestering her to model from now on x

New Customer Pics

Thuy's pre wedding photographs looking incredible in the little lace gown we created for her. Photographs by Liebehuman Nguyen www.liebestudio.com or facebook.com/liebehuman

 Sarah's pleated chiffon all American graduation gown (the most gorgeous and well dressed couple at the very front)

I love to see customer pictures of the dresses we have made them being worn at their events, it's usually the first time we get to see the person wearing the dress and it's so exciting to see.
These two came in recently and are just gorgeous photographs.

Ascot Dress on The BBC

Last week I had the most exciting news that my dress had been admired on the BBC at Royal Ascot ladies Day. The dress was beautifully modelled and selected by Courtney Fleming and I couldn't have wished for better compliments.

I was also thanking my lucky stars that the dress hadn't been slated by the presenter as they were being a little mean about some people!
Here's the link to the iplayer and it's around 1.02.51 minutes http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00sts7v/Racing_Royal_Ascot_2010_Day_3/

18th May Cream Chiffon Dress

I finished this dress yesterday, it's not a 'make a dress a day' more like make a dress in two weeks! Originally made in purple as a custom order for bridesmaids and now created in cream for a graduation. I am very, very happy with the cream!

The bodice pleats are all hand sewn in place and can be very fiddly but it's well worth it in the end, I love the way the chiffon drapes. Just wish it wasn't so slippery!

Will have to try it in organza next or other sheer fabrics and maybe prints. It's very similar to my tulle prom dress in construction and it's amazing how every fabric folds so differently.

Courtney's Ascot Dress

A beautiful actress from the US comissioned this dress for Royal Ascot and I am so pleased she did. This colour combination is just gorgeous. She is wearing a stunning hat made by 'by harriet', it's going to look amazing at the races.
