Leafy lace over emerald green dip dye under the streaming sunlight of this beginning of spring? Yes please

I say, work every minute asking yourself what you really want to accomplish, really truly, deep down beneath it all, when you work and when you play and inside every interaction.

Spend some time with me while I hand stitch the invisible hem of this delicate lace top this morning.

Dismal February days, made brighter by this flower of a gown that encapsulates the essence of light, sky, waves, flowers. A delight.
When a color is so unexpected it is like your eyes give your brain a little jolt and get your attention fully on the delicate harmony: a juicy yet elegant lime green.
Barely visible from the front, when worn with the lace top for the ceremony.
More visible in the back, where the bow bursts forth and flutters down the back.
Protagonist when the top comes off, to reveal the delicate lines of the bodice, and the sash transforms into a shawl, a cape. Wings.

Turquoise waves painted on pure silk.
Snippets of a process involving countless steps,
fabric sculpted around a body,
hands turning ideas to tangible form.
Movement breathing the silks back to waves.

Structured simplicity at its best. And the blue matched the bride’s eyes. #realbride #bridetobe #larimeloom #colorweddingdress #somethingblue #blueweddingdress
A watercolor kaleidoscope. Pigment on pure silk.
Front and back V necklines are gorgeous, but typically dress-makers resort to the trick of inserting nude tulle panels in the neckline for support, which might not be very obvious in photos but are VERY evident in person.
To avoid that, for this custom gown we built a stretch Lycra bodysuit bottom, hidden under the skirt and sewn to the bodice at the waist seam, so that the vertical tension holds the garment in position perfectly, offers perfect bust support, and all range of movement is guaranteed.

Perfect fit is a never ending quest.
The making of a Mida skirt in watery blues for the mother of a groom.
Each strip individually dyed, each one carefully placed to compose the perfect random balance.
There is a reason I only work with silk.
So impalpable, slightly understated, an imperceptible sheen.. yet so intensely, breathtakingly alive when inhabited with movement.
A custom Tilia, with one of the most pure, saturated, fiery, juicy tones of red/orange I have ever had a chance to dye.
No train, no frills, a clean rounded neckline, silk straps, a little lace around the waist. Letting color and movement take the center stage.

The Helianthus dress changes look based on how you feel, like the Sunflower it is named after changes direction based on where the sun is.
A dress I will never get enough of.
