The major modification I am customizing now:
Taking the brides mother's wedding dress splitting the bodice from the skirt and train and transform it into a two piece short dress.

The original 1980's has an organza with lace top layer that has heavy BEAUTIFUL beading.
I will turning that into a sexy robe.

I will be sharing that amazing transform.
I can't wait for you to meet this beautiful bride. Just an amazing woman to design for.

Sleeves! Detachable 💜 permanent 💜 net 💜 lace appliques that matches the dress 💜
Sleeves can transform a strapless gown for a more modest appearance, or create a trendy, romantic look—such as puff, bishop, swoop or lace sleeves—while detachable sleeves allow for an easy, two-look transition from ceremony to reception.

At the consultation we talk about the look and feel.
Trying on examples or sometimes we just make a mock sleeves so the style, fabric and fit are seen immediately.

Yes, I hand sew those appliques and small pieces. 💜

Sharing just a few.
