Bow and Organza Sash
Recently, I had the honor to work on a casual wedding dress for a bride who is also pregnant. At the time of her wedding, she will be 20 weeks pregnant. The dress she chose had no stretch, so we decided to make the waist 2″ wider than her actual waist and add a sash to tie around the waist in case the dress is too big on her. It is hard to guess how much your belly grows when you are pregnant. I remember my belly, got visibly bigger after eating big meals, as opposed to when I first woke up in the morning. The bride and I worked on the bow design together and here is what we came up with. I really enjoy working with customers to make custom pieces since it allows me to explore designs that I don’t think of on my own.

SS13 Leaf Print Dress in Collaboration with Oslo and Alfred
Leaf print dress (also via etsy)
New item in the shop! This dress is from Vivat Veritas SS13 collection, which was shot in March. The dress was made in collaboration to Taren S. Black of Oslo and Alfred. She is an illustrator based in Tokyo, Japan. We first met at the etsy event about year and a half ago. I incorporated her pendants in the AW12 collection shoot, and I loved how it turned out. I heard that she was designing print fabric, I could not resist asking her to collaborate with me. So, we turned one of her prints into a dress!
The dress is made to order, and the colors are available in orange and yellow. The orange one will have solid orange piping on seam lines, and the green one will have solid green piping. There is a cut out/peep hole drtail in the midriff area, but it can be made without the cut out as well.
