the most demanding customer ever
This has got to be one of the most difficult dresses I’ve been asked to make . . . patchwork, floral, stripes, polkadots (which she calls beach balls) all in one dress . . . major argument when it came to the neckline because she wants it low (she wants to wear a tube top inside) and I want it high (as in turtleneck).
When I asked her how she’ll pay me, she giggled and said, “I don’t have money, but I have a credit card!”
I think I’ll really make this dress and give it to her for Christmas!
working with removable accessories
Worked on this design sometime last year with accessories designer (and my SIL) Miko Olfindo and we’ve been getting good reviews about it until now. The beadwork is detachable so you can wear the dress by itself or with other accessories and you can also wear the beadwork as a necklace or bracelet since they’re all detachable. I love getting a lot of mileage from my pieces!
the ballad of lalita and lambert
When Lali & Abet asked me to make their outfits for their wedding, I immediately said yes even if it coincided with another wedding that I was working on. Why? Not only are they good friends, but because it’s a themed wedding! They wanted a Beatles themed wedding so the groom got to wear a Sgt. Pepper inspired outfit while the bride wore a hippie-ish wedding gown. And of course the guests were asked to come as hippies!
This photo came with the invite. Abet, being the tech savvy artist that he is, made this picture of his family walking along Abbey Road. The bride and groom’s outfits closely resemble what they actually wore during the wedding.
working on A2W orders
Working on new A2W orders is always fun as no two designs are the same. Not only do we change the fabric of the dress from time to time, we also change up the colors of the print.
Here’s a dress that Vernon worked on last night. I decided (of course with the approval of the client) to change the fabric and print colors for this particular order. My “assistant” gladly posed with the unfinished dress.
Hope you like this, Pazette! :)
