it is a cape. it is a poncho. it is a coat.

I can think of about sixty ways to vary this design.

And I am ready to try all sixty versions.  Let me know what fabric, color, style YOU want.

My sample here is crafted of plush wool.

Lace gown in progress....

I can't wait to see the lovely bride in this lace gown!  The lace is particularly lovely and soft, and the design is just IDEAL. 

There are actually very many little hand made buttons to close the back of the gorgeous gown.  I haven't sewn them in place yet....

The band at the empire waist is overlaid with scallops of the lace in center front.

The sleeves-- so delicate.

Melinda's Gown

What a beautiful couple.  Beautiful love-filled day.....


Melinda and Matthew.  Yes, I got to create the satin gown for Melinda. What an honor for me!  Thanks to 13:13 Photography for the images.

Vintage style

Gramma Gracie and her sister (our Aunt Agnes) made this Southwest Dress back in the 1950s.


I am dying to make one or two (or dozens!) of them myself.  Check out the new listing in my etsy shop for all the details.

Could I use yards and yards of white lace for yours?  

BRIDAL GOWN, yes.  

We could trim it with miles of silk satin ribbon....
