Dreaming Florals: Past, Present & Future

floral silk dress woman

Pub­lished 2/12/2014 I admit I am slight­ly obsessed with flo­ral prints. This may seem strange, since I rarely wear prints or colors. If you were to peek into my clos­et, you’d find neu­tral cloth­ing with small splash­es of col­or­ful flo­ral print­ed gar­ments! You might think­ing to your­self, “How come she wears col­or­ful flo­ral prints and not wear oth­er prints or sol­id col­ors?” Well, I think it’s because of my Ukrain­ian mother! I...

Blush Silk Wool Dress Pub­lished 6/23/2014 How many times have you gone shop­ping for that spe­cial dress and instead of find­ing the per­fect dress, you find mul­ti­ple dress­es wish­ing you could blend them all into one.Meet Lisa (then) bride-to-be that faced this dilemma.  When we met in May, she brought over sev­er­al white dress­es. Each dress had a fea­ture she want­ed, such as fab­ric, gath­ered skirt, skirt length, etc. But none...

White Silk Wool Clerical Priest Roman Style Stole

White Silk Wool Hand Embroidered Clerical Stole Roman Style with Pink Gold Red Thread for Irish Priest Rome Vatican Bespoke Ivory Latin Mass Orthodox Ukrainian

Stoles are a sign of one being ordained in the Catholic Church. So it’s only fit­ting for a new priest to receive a spe­cial hand-embroi­dered stole for his ordination.

It’s made with silk wool tex­tile and inter­lined with hair canvas.  The embroi­dery was cre­at­ed by hand from old tra­di­tion­al eth­nic (Ukrain­ian) pat­terns.

The Cascade Champagne Silk Wool and Silk Charmeuse Dress

Silk Wool charmeuse champagne long dress crossover cascade gown Cascade Champagne Silk Wool & Silk Charmeuse Dress I really don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to enter Burdastyle’s pattern challenge and downloaded their cascade dress pattern. Not only did I think I would have time to sew the dress, but I also planned to embroider its top crossover edge.! Fortunately, I was able to bypass sleep and finish sewing the dress just before the deadline. However I was unable to finish the embroidery. At this point, I’m not sure if I will add its embroidery.. (I think I will save it for a dress I know I’ll wear more often.) I don’t particularly like this dress. There are too many details going on. And I really don’t like the ruffle on the shoulder. Perhaps I’m boring, but I feel like I’m a mermaid with a seashell on my shoulder. (I had one sister laugh and call it a croissant, while another sister called it a perogi.) If it weren’t a Burdastyle pattern challenge, I probably would have eliminated the ruffle, (with no hesitation). I recently received this really special Christmas gift from my aunt. It’s a necklace with a photo of my babcha (grandmother)on one side and photo of my dido (grandfather) on the other side. The top bodice is lined with ivory silk charmeuse. Originally the skirt was lined with ivory silk charmeuse too, but I ultimately eliminated it. The two silk layers did not fall nicely together and it created more bulk at the hip. (This was a headache considering I had to seam rip everything apart and then hand-stitch the skirt edges again!!)

I real­ly don’t know what I was think­ing when I decid­ed to enter Bur­daStyle’s pat­tern chal­lenge and down­loaded their cas­cade dress pat­tern. Not only did I think I would have time to sew the dress, but I also planned to embroi­der its top crossover edge! (Vote for your favorite dress here) For­tu­nate­ly, I was able to bypass sleep and fin­ish sewing the dress just before the dead­line. How­ev­er I was unable...
