Service Story - Added Sleeves

Carolyn had the perfect wedding dress except for one thing. Sleeves. The dress did not have sleeves. She was able to purchase two matching appliques from the salon she purchased the dress. @SomthingBlue in Schereville, Indiana. But sewing a single applique to tulle sleeve didn't look right. Each applique was carefully hand-cut into 20 separate small appliques and then spread throughout the sleeve to provide a pleasant design. Happy bride equals a beautiful couple!

Beautiful bride & groom.

Single applique cut into 20 separate pieces & stitched to tulle. Perfect.

Sewing applique intact to tulle sleeve  not right. Too crowded on top, too blank everywhere else.

Bride purchased 2 matching appliques from the salon.

Service Story - Hem, Redesign Front Lace

Jodi's dress had  lace all along the hem of her dress. We first carefully removed the front appliques, cut the tulle that lay beneath, and stitched the appliques back on but redesigned them to fit the narrower width. Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Small gauge invisible thread requires a surgical seam ripper, good lighting, strong magnifying glasses and steady hands to remove appliques.

Appliques removed, hem cut.

Redeisign cut appliques to fit the smaller width of the hem. 

Service Story - Provide Support

This lovely dress was light and airy. But support was needed and the mesh needed a tough more modesty.

Beautiful and so happy!

This dress came with no support. 5 sets of bones were added but wrapped in matching fabric.

Beautiful.

The Bride wanted the deep "V" to be a little more opaque. We added tulle until she was comfortable and added a bit of bling.

Beautiful.

Made sure all the work on the inside was invisible on the outside!
