floral embroidered bapstimal gown

This morn­ing, I would like to share a project I start­ed dur­ing the hol­i­days and fin­ished in Jan­u­ary. It’s a cus­tom ordered girl’s Ukrain­ian bap­tismal gown. The embroi­dery was made by hand and then hand sewn to the hand­made linen gar­ment. The gown and cap are lined with silk charmeuse. The lace used along the hem is from France. This design will improve and change over time.I plan to start...

Burdastyle Charcoal Modal Cotton Cross Over Long Crop Dress

I made this dress for my trip to Europe last year. I heard Euro­peans wear pants and long dress­es, so I made the dress long with side slits.  I did­n’t take pho­tos of the dress in Europe, but I grabbed a few pho­tos when I wore it to a din­ner & dance last May. I don’t like tight dress­es so I made size 38. (I nor­mal­ly wear size 36.) The shoul­ders were a bit too wide...

This year, Gigi and I are wear­ing the new coats I have avail­able for sale in my  A N A G R A S S I A  shop. (Read about last year’s annu­al “AUNTIE & ME” match­ing wool cash­mere coats here.)

  The out­er bap­tismal dress lay­er: Avery’s grand­moth­er’s wed­ding dress (organ­za and flo­ral trim)  The inner bap­tismal lay­er: white stretch silk charmeuse I loved work­ing with Avery’s moth­er and grand­moth­er! They both shared opin­ions on what they liked/wanted, but they also gave me the free­dom to design what I thought would look best.  Ulti­mate­ly, I decid­ed to design some­thing like the grand­moth­er’s wed­ding dress and use as much of the grand­moth­er’s fab­ric as possible. (The...

Blush Pink Lace and Silk Cotton Easter Dress for Izzy

easter dress blush pink silk lace

I loved cre­at­ing this cus­tom ordered East­er dress for Izzy!  The dress is made with pink lace and lined (& under­lined) with blush pink silk & cot­ton fabric. This dress looks pret­ti­er in per­son than in pho­tos. The pink is light with a peach col­or undertone.  I rarely wear pink, but I would def­i­nite­ly wear this pink col­or and dress style! Lined and under­lined with beau­ti­ful silk cot­ton fabric...

Here are some pho­tos of my Malan­ka (Ukrain­ian New Years) 2016 dress. This dress was very com­fort­able to wear and fun to dance in! The skirt was made from mate­r­i­al I bought from Haber­man Fab­rics (in Roy­al Oak Michi­gan) when I bought my sis­ter’s wed­ding dress fabric. I think the mate­r­i­al is a ray­on or ray­on & cot­ton blend. It was an “end of the bolt” clear­ance fab­ric with­out a descrip­tive tag. I love...
