N.L. is a wedding planner and needed a dress to wear to formal events and fundraisers. She wanted a dress with a sweetheart bust that emphasized her chest and distracted from her midsection. She loved the idea of a garment that felt amazing to run her hands along, so we gave her a mixture of soft luscious velvet, a comfortable satin underskirt, and a full wild tulle skirt. The elegant beaded straps sweep into a low back that looks stunning on her. The satin strap in the back buttons at the perfect height to disguise a bra strap, while the structured bodice gives her plenty of shape, so she can wear this dress with or without a bra. She's ready for her next event!
N.L.'s Dress
E.L. had an upcoming black tie wedding and she wanted to feel great walking in with her partner. She wanted a form fitted bodice and something that hugged her curves. Being a tall woman, she wanted to be able to wear the dress with heels and have it come all the way to the floor. We gave her a gold strapless bodice that showed off her cleavage, while being secure. We balanced the gold with a rich brown, but brought in gold detail along the double slits to tie the two pieces together. The skirt fit her hips like a glove and she felt amazing for the event.

C.M. is six feet tall and has trouble finding floor length gowns that are long enough for her. She wanted an elegant evening dress that she could wear to high end events. We walked the line of elegance and sexy with this dress. The deep neckline in the bodice and the double slits in the skirt lets her show off her shape, while still being appropriate for all type of events. The bodice wraps across the waist and ties in the back in a beautiful bow, giving her a defined waist and stunning statement in the back. This dress is made from a smooth brocade and soft velvet, making this dress one of the most lushest to touch. C.M. Loved all the details of this dress and can't wait to wear it to her next event.
C.M.'s Dress
M.W. was frequently attending fall weddings and had nothing to wear. As a mom in her thirties in Phoenix, she wanted a dress that balanced many needs. She wanted the dress to be playful, but age appropriate. She wanted the dress to read fall, but to work in Arizona's warm climate and incorporate only a cool color pallet. She wanted to be able to style the dress formally for fancy events, and dress it down for casual outings. To achieve everything on her wish-list, we dreamed up a flowy satin and plaid dress. The plaid screams fall, while the flowy cotton skirt keeps her cool. The hi-lo skirt and combination of materials allow the dress the be fancied up with heels or worn casually with black sneakers. The sparkly plaid, buttons, pockets, and ruffle bring out the fun in this dress, while the pleats, shiny satin, and skirt length keep this dress classy and mature. Now M.W. is 100% prepared to attend her next wedding.
M.W.'s Dress
J.M. is a violinist and violin teacher. She wanted an outfit that she could wear to multiple recitals without appearing like she was repeating the outfit. Since she teaches children of all backgrounds, she wanted an outfit that could be modest, while still giving her the freedom to move & play her instrument. While achieving that professionalism, we also wanted the outfit to reflect J.M.'s personality and creativity as an artist. To give J.M. the versatility she was looking for, we designed a fully reversible sheath dress. For one side, we chose a gorgeous Art Nouveau inspired floral pattern for the days she's feeling bold, while the reverse side is a classic, more subtle navy polka dot. We included a 50s inspired cropped jacket that can be layered with the dress if she wants to cover her arms for a more conservative audience. The classic silhouettes, touched with vintage details, and joyful fabrics together present an outfit that is both fun and professional. While her students and music will be the spotlight for her performances, her outfit will also accurately represent the amazing artist that she is!

L.D.'s Dress
L.D. loves to attend the theater and opera. She wanted a garment that made her feel elegant that she could dress up or down, depending on the dressiness of the event. She likes to show off her shoulders and chest, but wanted to camouflage her arms and stomach. To highlight her body the way she wanted, we pulled on some regal inspiration, creating a dress with a Queen Anne neckline and pointed cape sleeves. We designed a flowy and flowery underskirt bringing some whimsy to the dress. We paired this with a detachable organza overskirt and belt, allowing her to dress up the garment for fancier events. She's ready to see her next show in style.
