Priscilla married in 2016, and she chose a dress that I particularly like, the Astilbe. A soft yet structured gown, with a delicately draped bodice with hand cut lace applied to it. The skirt is dreamy layers of organza over crepe de chine and chiffon. Here are some pictures of her on her wedding day. […]
Bright, happy pictures these ones are! The location is beautiful! I can just smell the crisp, fresh air. Laura wore the Magnolia wedding outfit, which is composed of a long smooth silk cadì skirt, and a sheer silk chiffon blouse, over a comfy, stretchy bandeau in jersey. Custom made for her, of course…. comfy and chic, […]
Flower crowns and pirouettes. Perfection! Jolene needed to move. She loves to dance, so after choosing her favorite dress from my collection, she asked me what could be done to make it as dance-friendly as possible. What I did was make the Anemone skirt extra flowing, and with a deep slit in the bottom laters […]
Elise wanted a wedding dress with color, and she fell in love with the Salvia dress. She was not however partial to the lavender I had used for the original gown, and so I agreed to make it with an entirely ivory and sage green palette. The bodice is smooth silk, stitched all over and […]
Charlotte chose a dress that was entirely one of a kind. I had made it with no one particular in mind, as I do when I am developing new designs and experimenting new fabrics. I used a particularly raw and textured vintage hemp, and then evolved the design so as to soften and contrast with […]
Kathleen chose to have me make her my ever-favorite Amsonia dress in blue, and it was a thrill to make it for her. She is a dancer, and she got married in Costa Rica on the ocean-side. I can just feel that splendid blue silk fluttering in the wind…
Beautiful, strong Esther is a dutch woman, who lives in Sicily with her husband and baby, and who came all the way up to my studio in the north of Italy to find her dress. To then get married in her hometown, in Holland! She looked breathtaking in this textured hemp and silk Lonicera dress, […]
Cari’s request was a bit of a challenge. But one I jumped straight in to happily. She wanted me to make her a separates outfit, composed of the Hortensia silk blouse, the Ilex silk bustier and the Tulipa silk cadì skirt. The challenge was: she wanted the skirt to be dyed a deep, inky, vibrant […]
Ainara contacted me a few months before her wedding, with a looong email entirely in spanish! I dont speak a word of spanish. But! Thank goodness for google translator, who allowed us to bridge our different languages and successfully communicate! And a success it was, after many emails exchanged, detailed measures and pictures of her, I […]
Laura is simply a beautiful soul. Her wedding photos make me want to jump right in and take part in all the beauty happening. She chose the Tilia wedding dress, and asked me to customise it with lace applique on the bodice, and with a more flowing, generous skirt. The dress that came out suited […]
