Hello Fashionista’s!!! Last post I talked about what a custom design is and the process. As I mentioned before a custom design is a unique, one of a kind, special garment that is meant to fit you perfectly. I thought I would give you a glimpse of the process. It is very crucial that I am given a month to at least 2 ½ weeks in advanced. Reason for this is because it is a process; we meet three times; for a consultation, a sample fitting, and to unveil the final product! Also, one has to keep in mind the more details or complicated the design is, having enough time is a must! With all that said, I had the pleasure of designing a gown for Alma. On our 1st meeting we talk about what the event, and when is it, I generally ask questions about their design, and take down measurements. I try to gather as much information as I can about the person, that way the design will not only fit their event but their personality. Base on the information and the atmosphere of the event I create s...

When I think of Halloween, I think that this is your only time to really make a fashion statement. You can be whoever you want and be as crazy and creative as you want without having to worry about anyone judging you. With Halloween around the corner, I had the privilege to create custom costumes for my Uncle & Aunt. I thought this was pretty fun and interesting. Both costumes are cartoon characters from Cartoon network, Rigby from The Regular show & Finn from Adventure Time. Finn costume was chosen by my Uncle; it consist a hat & a functional back pack, (the back pack really inspired me to someday make accessories.) Rigby’s costume was for my Aunt I put my fashion spin on it and made it very girly but yet still keeping Rigby’s character in it. Well hope you enjoy this fun Halloween edition post.

This past weeks I have been working on a special cocktail dress for my dear Aunt. This dress was for her special event for the AzCADV 2012 Thrive Gala & Awards Dinner. She requested a satin purple fabric to match the colors of their logo. The dress consists of several pleats running diagonally on the shoulders, bodice and waistline and skirt. I really loved the way the pleated waist accentuate her waist. The night was finally here, and she looked really beautiful!!

Wow, it has been a roller coaster literally, I am super happy that I have been doing custom designs for friends & family. So let’s talk about custom design. What is a custom design? A custom design is unique, special design, one of a kind, and it is meant to fit you perfectly, and often times it is a design concept that you already have in mind. As a designer it is my duty to give you some advice and suggestions to make it flattering for you. It’s a process, takes several steps, from measurements, to sketches along with fabric swatches, drafting the pattern, creating muslin, trying out the muslin for fit and adjustments. Last but not least the final product has to be perfect & has to FIT!! This is my moment of truth!!!! I am nervous, I am scared lots of questions running through my mind but then all of a sudden it fits, yes it fits perfect!!! The feeling is amazing to know that both your vision and their vision came to life. That they are happy with what you made that they twir...
