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.

Winter Wonderland

With a help of few sparkly snowflakes our new flower girl dress style - Frances - becomes a Winter Wonderland themed outfit. Shown in Ice Blue silk and tulle, White sash, with our faux fur Anna jacket.

Antique Tablecloth linen dress

This dress is almost One-of-a-Kind. I think I have enough tablecloth left for a second dress, so it really should be called Two-of-a-Kind. This flower girl dress is made with antique linen table cloth that caught my eye with its neat hand-made cross-stitch embroidery and linen softness. This was my first time up-cycling antiques/vintages, and I enjoyed making this dress a lot.

Texture, baby-blue stitching, pink roses and petal pink silk sash make this dress a perfect match for an antique garden-style wedding. This particular dress is priced at $110. You can purchase it here, or give us a call at (626) 395-7445.

The dress is in size 3-4. The dress is 30" long (76cm), if the bottom hem is tucked in, it is 21" long (53cm). It would fit the child with 23" chest (58cm) and 22" waist (56cm), however you can move the buttons in and out a little to tighten it up a bit or to let it loose.

There is still enough fabric for a second up-cycled table cloth flower girl dress that can be made in a different size (I think, up to size 5). Two matching cross-stitch embroidered ring pillow can be also produced.
