Here are a few dresses i have been working on this summer. Doris is modelling them, just before they went home to start a new life with their new owners.
I always get a bit sad when dresses leave me, my studio seems somewhat empty. But it isn't long before i am sewing away on a new project. And its even better when i get an inbox full of photos of the dresses being worn. So if these dresses are now yours, please send me a photo. I would love to see them!
Also keep an eye on my website and facebook page as i post photos of customers there!
