A Ball Gown for a Princess' Birthday!

This dress was custom ordered by a special client for a Royal Birthday Gala! (Lucky little girl!) It is made of iridescent lilac and magenta silk dupioni. I hand embroidered some bullion roses along the bodice and added a few beads for extra sparkle.
I can't wait to see a photo of this little beauty wearing it :o) I know she will have a lovely birthday. Thanks for looking!

Royal Purple Smocked Silk Gown

Here is a lovely little smocked silk gown I made for a sweet little girl that used to model for me years ago! She was only 18 months back when she used to be my little model and now she is already 7!!! My time flies by sooooo quickly. If her mom sends me any photos, I will post some then and now photos! :o) Here is the gown. It is the richest shade of purple!
Here is a closeup of the smocking and embroidery:
The gown is my original pattern that I drafted years ago. I had almost forgotten how to make it, it had been so long. Anyhow, I thought you might like to see it. Have a great day!

Fuchsia and Orange Majesty

Here is my latest little pageant creation. It is a stunning fuchsia and orange silk combo. The bodice is fully smocked from shoulder to waist and loaded with orange glass seed beads but they were hard to photograph.
Here is a full photo of the gown:
Thank you for looking and have a great weekend! Angela

Smocked Silk Flower Girl Dress

I have an order for 4 coordinating flower girl dresses. 3 yoke dresses, and one bishop. The bride wanted them to be ivory with tone on tone smocking. I think they are turning out so timeless and elegant.
Here is a closeup of the smocking.
I will post the bishop soon. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! Angela

Another Smocked Sunday Best Style Silk Pageant Dress!

I really loved this color combo in this little silk dress. The accent color silk was a super unique green/gold/teal color, depending on which way the light hit it!
That is the neat thing about iridescent silk......it changes colors depending on which way you look at it :o)

I smocked the bodice with a variegated thread that went from teal to green to gold and added glass seed beads for extra sparkle.

Thanks for looking!
