Custom Work

I have been busy with custom work lately - it's wonderful! But I don't think I'm going to be able to add to my Fall Collection for a bit :( I really really want to, but I need to sleep!

I'm very excited about the projects I'm working on and some of my upcoming ones. I'm finishing up a Ghostbusters costume (the dress worn by Sigourney Weaver as Zuul in the first movie). That will probably go out this week. Next I'm working on a Dia de los Muertos dress (Day of the Dead) with some gorgeous sugar skulls fabric by Alexander Henry. Followed by a recreation of a dress that Charlotte/Chuck wears on Pushing Daisies. And 4 skirts for a lovely lady in Kansas who wants to snazz up her office wardrobe for the winter!

That will take me through September, but I'm definitely looking for more projects going through the holidays. So, if you know you're going to a Holiday party or out dancing for New Year's. I'd be happy to make you a dress that flatters and fits perfectly! Or if you just want to add to your wardrobe and are sick of clothes that don't fit all your bits properly, I'd be glad to help.

Most of my custom work is in the same price range as what you would pay at Kohl's, Dillard's, or Macy's - but it fits YOU! It takes me between 2-3 weeks to complete a project from the time it's ordered. Any item over $50 is paid for in increments - half up front to buy the materials, and the rest upon completion. If your budget is tight, we can work out layaway payments and find quality materials in your price range.

Think about it - everyone used to have custom clothes a hundred years ago! Sears changed all that with their catalog. Get back to basics and get clothes that fit you - you won't believe how comfortable you feel :)

How did you make the zuul dress? I am about to embark on making one myself. Even though I don't have the two fabrics from the movie, I have a fabric similar in color. How did it turn out?
