I like to think that nothing's final, and that everyone gets to be #together even when it looks like they don't, that it all works out even when all the evidence seems to say something else, that you and I are always young in the #woods, and that I'll see you sometime again, even if it's not with any kind of #eyes I know of or understand. I wouldn't be #surprised if that is the way things go after all - that all things end happy.

The details delight me beyond words and the final days I spend with a custom garment are bittersweet. I really love making artful and expressive clothing for thoughtful and intentional humans like #DecoDayDreamDress for Elizabeth C. The only bitter in the sweetness is that the project is coming to an end. This Custom Maternity Wedding Dress was a textural frock made of magic and so many special components. I also made fingerless gloves and a hat for the ensemble and the repeating fabrics and notions and shapes aligned meticulously with the bride’s vision and theme. Working on custom creations like this takes a lot of planning and precision and is the most fun thing I get to do as a Designer! If you or someone you love is interested in a one of a kind dress let’s get the conversation started! Maybe you’d like to receive the gift of Custom Fashion?! This is experiential (you’ll have to be able to visit Hector, New York for fittings - darn it all, it’s really beautiful here and we’re surrounded by wineries!) and it’s tangible, and the end result is exactly what you ask for! DM for the holiday gift info and I’ll create a wishlist for you to share! 👗 💃🏻 👰🏻 . . . #oneofakinddress #experientialgift #ultimategift #dreamdress #fashiondesigner #weddingdressdesigner #spiritstyle #specialgift #giftidea #designdetails #uniquedress #upcycleddress #vintageredesign #customfashion #seamstress #seamster #stylist #bridalstylist #oneofakind #fashionistagift #fashiontrip #fashionexperience #dressup #playdressup #dressupforadults (at Hector Handmade) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW37bqjut8X/?utm_medium=tumblr
