This week, one of the things I worked on was this custom dress. The lovely customer from Japan ordered Build-a-Dress with this rose print fabric from Spoonflower. I previously wrote that the print was printed off-grain, but this time, it wasn’t. I was glad. The fabric was designed by Cathie Richardson, whose shop name is County Garden. You can check out the rest of her fabric designs here, they are seriously cute!

Shop Update – Build-a-Dress
Introducing a new feature on Vivat Veritas shop – Build-a-Dress!
I’ve made this dress for a customer using Spoonflower fabric. Spoonflower fabric has too many pretty fabrics! I thought it might be interesting to offer a feature so a customer can create her own custom dress using Spoonflower fabric and choosing one of my dress designs. By the way, Oksansia of Optimistic Art left me a comment the other day to let me know that the strawberry print fabric I used for the dress was her design! So funny! She has many other pretty print fabrics available on her Spoonflower shop – My favorites are this poppy print and fun workout…so cute!
So here is how the ordering process works:
1. Select a fabric from spoonflower.com
2. Select a dress design from the options above.
3. Send me an etsy convo with a link to your fabric choice, dress design and your size (bust, waist, hip and desired length of the dress).
4. I will get back to you within 24 hours with a final quote of the order, with a reserved listing link.
5. purchase the listing and wait for the dress to arrive!
Please note the turn around time of this listing is 4-8 weeks.
