Petra Dress Variations

This season, our lace flower girl dress "Petra" is pretty popular. It comes in the variety of combinations, but here I would like to show you some custom options, that were created based on our customer's requests. The photography might be not stellar, but sometimes I don't have time to wait for good lighting or setting, since we normally are trying to mail out our dresses as soon as possible.

First option - White Lace Petra dress with puffy sleeves from our Olga dress:













Second option - Big bow. Really, really BIG bow! Extra charge will apply, since it takes over 1 yard of silk to create this bow. Shown on Ivory dress, using Tan silk for the bow:



Third option - little faux pearl string at the chest level:


Some extras - embroidered kneeling pillows, guest book, ring pillow and the pen stand. We do not normally offer that (apart from the ring pillow), because these items are personalized and are rather time consuming to make, and really, we are better in dress making that in guest book making :) but this photo might inspire you to create your own set. You can purchase matching lace yardage from us.

Maui with Lace

One more custom creation: variation on our Maui Dress. At first we created the base dress. Then we attached lace cap sleeves, lined with silk tulle. Then we decorated the front of the sash and the bottom of the dress with lace cut-outs. This dress is simple, yet romantic, and was based on  the customer's ideas. 





Shades of Ivory: Nicole Dress

This week we've been working on a customized order: Ivory Nicole Dresses. Nicole dress is a creation from our Linen and Lace collection that retails on Etsy. Normally, it comes in Natural color, but somebody requested it in Ivory.

So I've spent some time gathering old and new lace, linen and cottons in the shades of ivory, and here is the result:












I am not offering Ivory color as a standard option, since it is harder to consistently find matching trims and fabrics, but it is something that we may be able to accommodate as a custom option. Currently, I still have some lace left, enough may be for a couple of Ivory Nicoles.

Pink Mood

It's been a while since I've posted, we got carried away working on the new designs and neglected our gallery. I was reviewing my photo archives, and decided to assemble this little post with Pink items.
