#wipw I'm starting in on two new commissions! One using this gorgeous silk wool fabric from Mood and the other is another mother of the bride wedding gown keepsake! Been playing a little bit too off and on with a headpiece that I look forward to sharing with you soon!

Made this adorable #baptismal shirt w/ attached bow tie using the little guy's great-grandmother's wedding gown, which was in rough shape so it took a couple washings & cutting around some of the old stains, but I love how it turned out.

Here are pics of the flower girl gown made from the mom's 1970s wedding gown & custom mother of the bride gown I designed & made! These were definitely a labor of love. We purchased a short wedding veil to use as a detachable train.

Helluva Boss #cosplay for a client! Designed and built by me except for the waist cincher and belt which were purchased on Amazon. I especially love the cape design, round for the moon to tie it more closely to #stolas and celestial magic.

I am late for National Lingerie Day (April 25th) but I wanted to share this bridal getting-ready robe I designed and made last year using a mother of the bride's old gown, given as a bridal shower gift. Pricing starts at $325.

#tbt A couple prod photos from #SkyGirls by #JennyLaird, my first costume design in grad school. It is about the WASPs, the first female fighter pilots of WWII. Important to keep them in mind as certain groups try to erase that & other history.

#tbt These were the 2 #Halloween costumes I made in 2024 based on the #EquestriaGirls. My kid went as #TwilightSparkle & I was #Rarity. I made these quickly due to life & work getting in the way, but I'm happy how they turned out!

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
