We’ve just started work on a new project here at the studio and we are very excited about it. One of our brides requested an 18th century gown for her wedding taking place on stage at Chicago’s Symphony Center and she was so gracious as to allow us to share the process on our blog. Right now we are gathering bits of trims and ribbons, pouring over historical fashion books and referring to movies like Marie Antoinette and Dangerous Liaisons for inspiration as well as working on the pattern for the first muslin fitting. We’ll be posting each stage of the process, design, pattern, muslins (which are mock-ups of the dress for fitting purposes) as well as the gown itself and all of the hand work that goes into embellishing it. Stay tuned to see this dress come to life!

We just received these gorgeous photos from our bride Lyndsay. She had such kind things to say about her dress, and we are so happy that we could make her wedding dress dreams a reality. Congratulations Lyndsay!
“I wanted to give you my sincerest thanks for making me such a beautiful wedding gown. It was an amazing experience getting to work with you. I really appreciate how much you listened to me and my ideas about the wedding dress I saw in my head, but could not find on the rack! You are such a wonderful person and I’m blessed to have had you custom make my dream dress. It made my day so special. I felt comfortable and beautiful in the dress and loved every minute I got to wear it.” -Lyndsay S.
