Hand Beaded Lace Dress
I had an Oscars party to attend and I needed a dress, so I made this one with a hi-lo hemline! It's got three layers: a base with boning, a lining, and the top lace layer. The beading is hand done with glass beads. The beading alone took 14 hours, so that's why the price is so high. It was a hit, and I'm wearing it again for my wedding rehearsal this summer!

My first loves are beading, costuming, and formal wear--including wedding dresses! I was married this summer in my a dress I designed and made myself. The bodice was hand beaded and took me 43 hours to bead! I felt amazing on my wedding day, though, knowing I'd created my own unique look!
I also love doing costumes! I've done a couple of Comicon pieces and they've gone over amazingly well!
I am a perfectionist, so everything I make is incredibly well assembled. If I wouldn't wear it, I'll take it out and redo it. When it comes to making custom items for my clients, I don't believe in mediocrity.
I am also an avid fan of knitting and crochet, and love creating my own patterns!
I can't wait to work with you!

Aug 9, 2013I had a project for some wall banners to be made with my family's coat of arms. I was very pleased with the outcome! There was communication and clarification throughout the progression of the project, assuring that it came out excellent and according to what I wanted.
