Wish I could say these were precautionary but they weren’t. Sliced my thumb with my razor blade while removing appliqués from bridal gowns….. thank goodness no blood on the dress! And my finger was just poked by a pin… I swear I bleed every Day. I have big boxes of bandaids all over and at the ready lol

Had the pleasure of getting to work on a custom dance costume for a senior solo competition. And I am so glad I got to bring her vision to life from selecting the colors and designing it out and making it fit to her perfectly and customized for her modesty preferences as well. These aren’t the final photos we made one last minute change to add sheer to increase the neckline coverage but photos will be coming soon
