Plus Size Brides

Wedding Tips for Plus Size Brides from me:
#1. Do not bring along slim, opinionated friends/family to the fitting. Their comments can leave you in tears.
#2. The more fabric in the dress, generally means the bigger you will look. YES, you CAN wear something fitting and sexy.
#3. Brides sometimes bring their fiancé. I just don't think he should see the final dress. I'm old-fashioned about that.  Leave something up to surprise when he sees you walk down the aisle.

Under the Weather

Well, I had planned on really making an impact with my blog to start off the new year.  However, managed to pick up a particularly nasty bug, and have been knocked sideways for a few days.

A few good things have happened this week though.  I've been picked up to work on the Nu-Image/Millennium Studios movie "Playing the Field" which begins filming on February 28th here in Shreveport.  I've also been approached about teaching sewing skills to students.  It's Mardi Gras time, so orders are afoot for gowns, costumes, etc. I'm starting to create my Easter/Ascot/Kentucky Derby hats for the Springtime.  The first proms will be underway in another couple of months.  I will be creating dresses for prom, as well as corsages.  Watch this space for pics of some hats and corsages.

Hats, Fascinators, Accessories

With a Royal Wedding, Ascot, and the Kentucky Derby on the horizon, hats and fascinators are once again on the forefront - and the forehead - of ladies young and old.    A fascinator is a headpiece worn on the hair and commonly made with feathers, flowers, and/or beads. They attach to the hair by a comb, headband, or clip. They are an adornment for formal attire, and are an alternative to wearing a hat.

Happy New Year!

Well, a very Happy New Year to you all.  2009 wasn't good.  2010 was a little better.  Let's hope 3's the charm and 2011 will be very good for everyone.

Why not have a New Year and a New You.  Let me come to your home and do a wardrobe makeover.  Get rid of all the clothes you are never going to wear again.  I'll show you how to maximize the clothes you are keeping.  How the addition of just a few accessories, or changes, can revitalize your outfits.  I'll help you discover what styles, colours, shapes, etc. suit you the best.

Have a party or a wedding to attend? I'll come and help you get dressed and ready for the occasion.  From the partygoer to the mother of the bride to the bride herself - every member of the occasion including men, women, and children.
