Color Gallery
I do other gowns besides white, but white is my main client and what I am best known for.  Here are some of my other gowns in color
 

Miyake ridges
Issey Miyake would be proud of these ruffles

 

Peach silk suit
My sister who is a never-ending source of support and encouragement for me, has many of her daughter's friends getting married and a silk suit is the perfect thing to wear!


 

Fashion Forward
Susan is always on the edge of fashion, but never off the deep end.  She has impeccable style and a figure to match and is a treasure to design for.



Something Very Small
How could I refuse my aunt's family - she had given me my first Bernina.  Then I had found this antique lace in Dallas, and just took it from there.  The gown has already had three christenings!


 

Beaded Bodice
HI was able to find a beautiful beaded fabric that coordinated beautifully with a silk faille.  The two made an outstanding gown for a client who was head of a silent auction fundraiser.  As a special touch, I added beading to the inside hem so that when she walked across the stage, there was sparkle - unexpectedly.


 

Red & Jade
Claire's (my client here) sister has a great eye for design so we coordinated with her sister for the design. Here she is finished.  (See the mock up here.) The color was perfect for this ruddy complexion and gorgeous red hair!



Oriental Wedding
This was a blast.  This was a sheer maroon chiffon sari, and we put a bright orange silk under.  I love sewing with saris as they can make the most fantastic borders


 

Necklace
This client has this beautiful tourmaline necklace, so we designed this jacket to match the jewelry.


 

Gubernatorial Inauguration
Cathy was as delightful to work with as she appears.  Of course having a gorgeous figure makes it fun.  The trick to this gown was that the side slits in the jacket lay completely flat and they did!
