My First Fashion Show

I had the opportunity to showcase a few pieces of my work for a fashion show a few weeks ago. I just wanted to take a moment to thank all my teachers, fellow classmates, friends and bf for encouraging me to do this. Believe it or not, it took a lot of hard work and time just to design, construct, fit and style 2 looks! It was definitely a huge learning experience and I'm so glad I did it. I also want to thank Jen from Life Unrefined for being my petite model. She was so kind and gracious to offer her time to drive up to SF to do the casting, fittings and the fashion show itself. She was amazing on the catwalk and her strut was so fierce!! I couldn't have asked for a better model. Please check her out in this video!!

The Easy Breezy LDB

I wanted to make a work dress that was simple, versatile, accommodates bloated days, doesn't require special undergarments, can be easily accessorized, has sleeves (so I don't have to worry about wearing a cardigan or jacket to cover my shoulders)...and here's what I came up with! Made of a thick ponte and can easily slip on and off without any closure...I am personally in love! LOL.

B+W Houndstooth Plaid

I love houndstooth. I love plaid and I love b&w together. I couldn't have been more excited to find this fabric because it has everything I love in one print!! I made this sheath dress last week and have worn it a few times and have gotten so many compliments. The fabric is light weight, drapes so nicely over the body and is comfortable to wear. I love that this print can be dressed up or down. You can wear it with pumps and a blazer to the office or with a moto jacket and booties for a casual look on the weekend (worn here - PS I had the pleasure of meeting Julia from Gal Meets Glam at the Alice + Olivia event). If anyone is interested, I am adding this dress to my Etsy store!

Striped Sweatshirt Dress

Omg this dress is so warm...I wore this in 60 degree weather and I had to take off my jacket! I've been wanting to make a sweatshirt (fabric) dress for the longest time since it's always a little chilly in SF, but never found any sweatshirt fabric with a pattern that I really liked until now. This dress is so comfy and cozy, it would be perfect for ladies that live in cooler climates.
