The Aria Dress

November 29, 2010 10:58 am

Last week I showed you this post of the beginning stages of a dress I had made. Here is the completed product, The Aria Dress.

I really wanted to capture the movement of this dress in the photo shoot.


I gotta say, my sister rocked that shoot! I was so impressed with her!

Here are some plain old closeups of the dress. I made this out of white, soft jersey than hand painted it with tea. I wanted it to have a barely there color.

It also has pockets.

The top has a slimming middle detail with rouching at the bodice.

The back has this detail.

I. Love. This. Dress.

The Flea Market Frock

April 30, 2010 6:10 am

Introducing you to my Flea Market Frock. It’s one of my new designs for summer.

It’s shown here in cream voile.

It’s the perfect dress for any body type. It has broader shoulders, a higher cut neckline, a shirred elastic waistband and cutout pockets.

I also have it in hand dyed navy...

…and charcoal grey.

Its’ so lovely as a spring/summer dress and it’s extremely versatile because you can wear it with leggings or jeans. Go check out a lot more pictures in my etsy store! It’s stocked with MANY new items!!

I’m even thinking about how I’m going to style it for the fall! With a long sleeve shirt under it, a big belted cardigan, tights and knee high boots… it’s a year round dress! I’ve got two other colors of it coming soon!

Don’t forget to check out The Beaded Purse and enter for the  giveaway!. She just posted some BEAUTIFUL clothes! I’m swooning over the first dress!
