I enjoy creating new, beautiful articles of clothing. I have the knowledge to take a picture of a piece of clothing and recreate it pretty darn close. I am no designer. I am a pattern maker and seamstress.

In this blog, I get to "show off" some of my lovely creations. I do take requests.

The price of a garment is figured by the cost of materials times two. Therefore, the fancier the fabric, the more expensive the cost to produce it. If you have a request, allow up to 4 weeks, and email me with pictures and a description of what you would like. No guarantees. However, I will do my best to make your request at close to your specifications.

The "Adalyn" Blessing Dress

--As soon as I get pictures of the sweet baby in this dress, I'll post pictures. They will look so much better than these. . .


The "Adalyn" has a pearl & embroidered Organza overlay with Bridal Satin. The overlay really makes this dress breathtakingly beautiful with it's sequins and pearls. The underskirt is hemmed with gathered Tulle. This dress has a delicate ruffle at the sleeve hem and is trimed with daintypearls at the neckedge to give it "just that right touch." The satin ribbon accents at the waistline.

"Adalyn" has a full ribbon bow in the back, and a zipper closure. The dress is just a touch longer than full traditional length, sitting at 29" instead of the traditional 26" from neck to hem.
