Seven Months on the Way

Exactly 7 months ago, I walked down the aisle in this wedding dress. It was a simple one, something I chose to reflect my simple personality.*wink*

I was seven months expecting and I had to let go of my dreams of wearing that V-back, princess cut flamboyant wedding gown I designed for myself. But just because I was seven months expecting doesn't mean that I won't be entitled to look fabulous on our big day. I didn't want to look funny walking down that red carpet wearing something that looked sloppy on me. So I had to get my sketchpad again and conceptualized on something that will still look flattering on me. Afterwards, I consulted my ever opinionated and artistic husband-to-be then.

We came up with a tube, empire line wedding dress which will highlight the only perfect feature I have- my shoulders! Haha... At 32B, there is nothing I can flaunt for the bust area. But I had no choice but to draw the attention upwards since my belly's almost at its peak already. I accentuated the waist (yes, I still have one then! Hooray! Hehe...)

Of course, I didn't want to look shapeless, so I opted for an A-Line since it looks good on everyone. Including expectant moms like me. :) The dress was made using Duchess Satin, and I made sure that it would be long and dramatic, with a simple chapel train.

It was simple. And it was so me... I loved it! :)

Canine Fashion

The last time I spent quality time with my Japanese Spitz Aloha (Ate Ola, as Allison fondly calls her) was like an era ago.  I use to dress her with fun fashionista fabs and take photos of her.  My bad, I lost all the files. I miss you Baby Lo...

Having inspired by my baby Ola, we will be launching a Fashion Line for Canines. And tigers as well. LOL

Perhaps I still have to learn the basics of pet fashion design and advanced pattern making... Good thing I have a very talented hubby who can do the sketching for me. TIA for the illustrations, honey! I love you!

And yes, I am a very big fan of Kiki Hamann.:)

My Aubergine and Mustard Project

A Little White Dress

September 2010, a sister from GT commisioned me to make a little white dress for her wedding reception.

A month later, she changed her mind. No, not that she didn't want the dress anymore. Hehe... She wanted to wear it for their pre-nup instead.

I got this done for her in October for her photoshoot. And here's the piece inspired by Maggie Sottero (oh, i so love her!):

Thanks sis Khris and Del for considering our services. Best wishes to you!

My Jim Project

My first summer wedding project for 2011!

Here's my little contribution to Jim Cablinda's wedding to Dr. Herbert Caluban in Davao City.

Cocktail dresses and skirts got some added lift this season as these bubble bottoms took flight. Here's a piece before the final touches:

The ladies loved these simple yet gorgeous pieces for that fun summer wedding:

 And my little girl sure did love her Princess-Cut Dress with a Ruffled Hem:

Perhaps I can post professional photos for these works soon.

Best wishes to the newly weds, Jim and Herbert! We hope you're enjoying your Singapore- Malaysia- Indonesia Honeymoon Adventure!
