lately and some of the questions that have been asked is what kinds of projects have you done. I was immediately reminded of the wedding gowns I've made. So I thought I would share with you some of them.
Nissa chose a intricate gown from a picture she found in a bridal magazine. I always thought she would go for a very simple gown but she chose one with beading all over the skirt and the sleeves were a work of art with petals and tulle that draped to the side off her shoulders.

One of the hidden details was a "Claddagh" emblem that hung on the back of the dress symbolizing our Irish heritage.
Each gown had something hidden in or on it for the uniqueness of the bride.

Another gown I designed was for a friend who is an artist. She also found a picture of a designer gown from a magazine. I searched and
researched the dress in order to add a drape to it that incorporated the dresses of the bridesmaid dresses she wore in their weddings.
She wanted to incorporate each one of their personalities into the dress. She asked each one of them to give her a piece of fabric that reminded them of her and I took the fabric pieces and put them in a drape that wrapped around the dress.
