made in 8 hours. The under-material is a cream damask swirl, and the overlay is dusty rose/beige embroidered and sequined sheer all-over lace. The sleeves have a stay to keep their tremendous volume, and the overlay sits daintily atop the puffs. The skirt is fitted to the darted bodice in front, and pleated and gathered to the princess-seamed bodice in back. The damask has a scalloped edging which was preserved in the hem of the skirt. This gown was sold for $200 USD.

finished with an invisible zipper, this gown has a slightly trailing skirt finished with the tiniest of hems.

A lovely Regency silhouette.

The scalloped edge from the damask has been preserved in the sleeveband.

Made from satin-backed velour, this gown has trailing elbow-length sleeves and a massive, heavy circle skirt that sways with every movement. The bodice is princess seamed front and back with a slightly pointed waistline. The lace around the neckline and sleeves was repurposed from a well-loved blouse.

Wrapped in a cape of sparkling brown, the lady of the forest is both warm and stylish.

Detail of the Valciennes lace on the gown and the clasp on the cloak. The lace is carefully tacked on along the upper edge only, permitting the shadows to showcase the full richness of this lovely trim.

A young lady...VERY young lady...requested her own version of Belle's dress from Beauty and the Beast. See what can be done with a simple sleeveless dress pattern? The dress is in two pieces..a glitter organza skirt attached to the sash, and a matte satin under-dress with a shoulder drape. Back zipper, lined bodice.

Rather large sash for a little girl!

Skirt hem was swooped up and flowers are tacked over the gathers.

The drape was made separately and tacked onto the gown.

This gown is TRULY one of a kind. two good friends designed it together, and the result is simply stunning. Princess seamed bodice front and back. All-lace sleeves, lace neckline trim. Glitter organza shoulder drapes and 3/4 circle overskirt. Crepe-back-satin bodice (boned for shape) and 1/2 circle underskirt.

these fabrics are some of the most lovely. The metallic lace had a very wide design, which was used to cut the entire sleeve. The armscye was then lined to prevent chafing.
