Gowns

My first commissioned wedding gown for my lovely cast member, Rachel

Inspiration for this gown came from trees and dryads. I loved working with non-traditional colors

I created this look by layering champagne lace over green crepe. Hand-beaded details include natural pearls and crystals

This inredibly comfortable tea-length gown is entirely chiffon with a soft cotton lining. Delicate lace closes the back like a corset.

The full flowing skirt is entirely hemmed with lace. Lace also adorns the underbust on this flattering design

A gorgeous two-piece dress made from the fabric of a thrifted punjabi suit

Although built to be one dress with hidden fasteners, the top and skirt are highly versatile individually

Tapestry gown for the runway at RAWArtists: Envision fashion show, spring 2018. Skirt built from antique velvet.

My first gown: Senior Prom.

The bodice and sleevelets are entirely

hand-beaded in gold seed-beads

The 3-piece gown had a laced and bustled back. A fabric flower hairclip accompanied the gown and it is shown here with its kilt companion garment
