Thank you to all the brides who have trusted me with their gowns this year!

Anagrassia is currently accepting inquiries for custom wedding gowns and bridal alterations, including complex alterations and gown reconstruction. Please contact me to inquire about availability.

Beautiful bridal work is about more than what you see on the outside. Inner corsetry, careful construction, and a precise fit are some of the details that set Anagrassia apart.

Thank you to all the girls who joined Anagrassia Atelier Club this July! I had so much fun preparing the classes (with Anya) and teaching each of you. It was a joy to watch your creativity and sewing skills grow throughout the month.

One of the projects the students chose to make was this beginner-friendly pair of shorts featuring a simple pocket technique. I adapted both the children's and adult BurdaStyle patterns to make them easier for beginner sewists.

Teaching is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Unfortunately, my schedule is a bit too full to offer Atelier Club in August, so there will be no classes this month.

Keep an eye out for openings this fall! Registration will be offered to returning students and their families first before opening to the public.

Thank you again for a wonderful July, and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer!

Another reason to learn how to sew and mend clothing...

The new clothing laws may sound like a good idea, BUT pay close attention to where the fashion industry is heading.
As regulations reshape fashion, expect clothing, especially garments made from natural fibers, to become more expensive. We may also see many more brands shift toward rental, resale, and subscription models instead of traditional ownership.

Will we own our clothes in 10 or 20 years???

Annually, around 4 percent to 9 percent of textile items put up for sale in Europe are estimated to be destroyed.

Atelier Club is Back!

After taking a break while Anya was little and moving into my new atelier, I am so excited to announce that Atelier Club is officially returning!

Atelier Club is a monthly sewing program for girls ages 10–14 who want to learn sewing, garment construction, and creative design in a professional couture atelier. Classes are intentionally kept small, with no more than four students, so each girl receives plenty of individualized instruction.

🧵 July Membership Includes:

• Three 90-minute classes
• Fridays: July 10, 17, & 24
• 12:00–1:30 PM
• Anagrassia Atelier
215 Red Coach Drive
Mishawaka, Indiana

Because I scheduled the July classes later than I had hoped, I am waiving the $75 new student registration fee for any student who registers this week and begins classes on Friday.

Not sure you're ready to commit to the full month? Since this month's schedule came together at the last minute, I'm also happy to allow new students to attend a single class for $50. If you'd like to register for just one class, please email me at [email protected] and let me know which Friday you would like to attend.

Students are welcome to bring their own sewing project or choose one of the sewing kits available at the atelier.

I can't wait to welcome both new and returning students back into the studio!

It is unlikely that any Anagrassia orders or messages will go out for the rest of the week.
God bless America! Have a wonderful holiday with family and friends.

It's hard to believe that nearly three years have passed since I began working with one of my dearest childhood friends on her custom bridal wardrobe. Together, we created multiple gowns and pieces so she could have different looks throughout her New Year's Eve wedding celebration.

Michelle and I grew up just a few houses apart. As little girls, we would play dress-up in her mother's old wedding gowns, never imagining that one day I would have the honor of creating her own. Even more fitting, her future husband, Corey, lived right behind her all those years.

Seeing Michelle walk down the aisle and celebrating with her and Corey on their wedding day remains one of the happiest moments of my career and one I will always treasure.
May God continue to bless their marriage and family.
Thank you, Michelle, for trusting me with such a special chapter in your lives.

You can see more photos and read about the making of her custom couture wedding gowns on the Anagrassia blog.

Last weekend I carved out a little time for a personal sewing project and finally drafted a custom very high waisted wide leg trouser pattern I’ve wanted to make for a long time.

I started with a light blue cotton mock-up, adjusted the fit, and finished the first pair in a heavyweight dark navy denim. The clean back, long leg, and extra length for heels turned out exactly how I hoped.

One of the best reminders from this project: clothing feels completely different when it truly fits your proportions. These trousers already feel better than anything I’ve had in my closet in years, and I’m excited to make more versions in linen and wool.

I shared more photos and the full process on the blog here:

One of my favorite kinds of projects is transforming heirloom garments into something new for the next generation.

This custom First Holy Communion dress was created from Gabby’s mother’s Communion gown from the 1990s. We preserved special details from the original dress while redesigning it to reflect Gabby’s own personality and love of dance and movement! Flourish Interiors

I shared more photos and the story behind the design process on the blog here: https://www.anagrassia.com/blogs/news/custom-first-holy-communion-dress-made-from-mother-s-communion-gown

God bless all the children receiving their First Holy Communion!
I’m sharing this post because I love all the tartans and the sense of tradition they carry. These are such beautiful heirloom pieces to wear!
