This past weekend we celebrated the wedding of my daughter and now son-in-law at Holiday Valley.

Not only did I make my daughter’s wedding dress (complete with her dog’s paw print embroidered in the train and a million buttons down the back) I also made my dress and her mother-in-law’s dress. To say I’m exhausted is an understatement but I’d do it all again. Official photos coming soon from photographer but here are a few from me. (Unfortunately you cannot see the fun lining fabric on my dress in any photos yet)

Look at the direction of the diamonds…help me decide.

Right to left or Top to Bottom

When it’s a beautiful day in I move what operations I can outside. I am in love with this for a client. Perfect color and fabric for an outdoor wedding on a mountain top.

This lady is turning 30!!! 🎉🎂🥳🎊

She’s a bit tattered and worn but she’s been through a lot.
