That's right folks, I'm playing Dressmaker =) For my very first client, a librarian, I opted for warm olive green and eggshell linen. A keyhole bodice and subtle lace on the sleeves add playful romance to this professional piece. She's sure to catch someone's eye between the shelves! #dressmaker

Lowkey imagining myself in Phantom Thread as I work

An off-the-rack dress using leftover material from my first project =) I originally envisioned this in blue; hopefully I can save the pattern and create more? #dressmaker

Another, simpler dress for the funeral, but neverless some interest with the neckline, butterfly sleeve, and ribbon. #dressmaker

For my next client's interview with a biographer, I created this plum and pink number. The simple color block skirt became too visually heavy, so I added pink lace trim at both the hem and bodice, helping bounce the eye back upward. I'm pleased with my designs so far! #dressmaker

A gardening dress. They asked for three different colors, and I opted for a fun mix of floral and strawberry patterns as well. The ruffles are meant to evoke butterfly wings =) #dressmaker

A gothic/romantic dress for my new client, who wanted a good amount of lace trim. I'm very pleased with my choice of ebony and gold pattern, elevating the look. #dressmaker

A warm professional dress for cold evenings at the library. Cerulean accents give a dynamic edge to this classic wool piece. #dressmaker
