Linen + lace = love.

I don't always get to meet the lovely young ladies who buy my dresses, particularly the one-of-a-kinds that I make for the shop when I have a few spare hours. So I was thrilled to see these photos that Jena posted on her blog--she fell in love with my little linen and lace frock, and I think it fell in love with her, too!

The linen bodice and underlay are paired with embellished tulle with lots of lace appliqués. The bodice and waist are also trimmed with smoke-colored velvet ribbon.

Doesn't she look amazing? I feel like this dress was made for her. And maybe, in some sort of cosmic way, it was. Thanks, Jena! I'm so glad that you and this dress found each other.

Okay, one more.

Persuasion in Oz.

I just received this lovely photo from Megan, who wore my Persuasion dress and ruffle bolero for her wedding in Australia this March. I traveled for the first time to Australia earlier this spring and loved it, so I'm thrilled whenever one of my dresses takes a voyage there...

Inspiration board: Glass Green & Gold

I'm currently decorating my bedroom & have been in a green state of mind while doing so. This inspiration board is the result of letting my mind wander & gathering anything & everything green... I'm especially in love with wild, botanical greens paired with metallics & glass. Liberty flowers & damask greens make for great prints, not to mention cute little dresses! Greens have been popping up in weddings for a while, but I hope to see more brave brides go green all the way.
