Well, after 6 months of having June up for sale, it's time to add another dress to the collection! I've just worked out the pattern for Grace, which is a strapless dress with a crossover bodice. I'm going to make it with the option of have a vintage lace halterneck added. Very pretty.
I think i'm going to stop myself from taking photos of this one, and leave the final result as a suprise when the photos go up. I will give you a hint though, hot pink is going to feature! Also, i'll be selling off the dress after the photos have been taken, so if you're a size 12 (UK) and looking for a bargain, watch this space.
I'm working on a few different dresses at the moment, it's lovely to be busy!

Sage green June, in the making
I do love to use unusual colours for my dresses, so when a lovely bride contacted me with some exciting ideas i jumped at the chance. We searched high and low for the perfect colours, and now the perfect dress is starting to take shape. I've never photographed a dress at this stage of the making process before.
A toile has been fitted due to the change of shape at the back of the dress, the fabric has been cut and now the dress form (mannequin) is pretending to be the beautiful bride. The only part of the dress that is sewn at this point is the front part of the bodice. I'll post some more photos as the dress starts to take shape next week.

Polka Dots!
Well, i think i may have finally found a source for some polka dot tulle to use as an overlay on the dresses. I think i may just have to make the sample of Grace using this! I love polka dots so much. I'm planning on ordering the fabric for the new dress next week, so hopefully i'll have photos up by christmas! Here's a sneak peak at the fabric.
Talking of polka dots, I recently discovered a website http://www.polkadotbride.com/. You really should take a look, i wish i'd discovered this site when i planned my own wedding, it's rather fabulous and has so many great ideas.
