More from the Love-ly Corset line

This very fun corset can be worn to adorn a plain shirt or wear alone for evening dress.
Red with black lace overlay, laces up the back - the picture is a little bright because of the flash.  Very beautiful fabric, must see in person to appreciate it!

I only make corsets with the lace up option if the client asks for them.  This one has a lace up for demo purposes.

Love-ly Corsets - To love on Valentines Day or love to wear daily

Do enjoy wearing something that suits your personality?  Have you tried a corset?  

I am expanding into the world of corsets.  I am having a lot of fun.  Below is one I made from a personal inspiration.  It can be worn as an evening pizazz or wear for daily attire.  It can even be worn with a skirt for a elegant affair.  This one will be laced in the front.  

Remember I do not carry an inventory.  I am a tailor that fits clothes to your body.  If you would love to have a corset for yourself please contact me and we will have a fitting, in person or online for those who do not live close. 
This corsets retails for $60 (corseting supplies are expensive).  If you would like the allure of a corset without the cost, ask me.  We can start a corset-look-alike for $30 (price will increase depending on closures and material)

Wedding - A Perfect Fit

A client of mine is getting married later this month.  She found a dress she loves but didn't like that it exposed her shoulders and arms.  She wasn't able to find anything at the stores that fit her right, let alone matched her dress.  It was actually even hard to find a fabric to match.  This fabric matches in color but not in weave, although, it compliments it nicely.  I took measurements and altered a pattern to fit.  At the last fitting we found that the top gaped and exposed her under arm.  So I pulled in the top and shoulders and - wa la!  It covers her shoulders, arms to her elbows, and doesn't hide the beautiful beading on the top of her dress. 

This is why I love tailoring.  I enjoy bargain shopping, but I love clothes that fit and flatter more.  What event do you have approaching?  Are you going to look your best?  Let me know if I can help you look your best!

Matching Mother Daughter Dresses

I love making matching items.  Melissa hired me to make matching dresses for her and her daughter.  She brought me her pattern and I made a pattern to match her daughter's dress in similarity.  I also made matching ties for her husband and son, not pictured.
