About Me

My photo
My love affair with fabrics and fashion started during childhood, I was encouraged by a clever mum who was always on her machine experimenting. Designing and the creative process keeps me just about sane. At the moment jewellery is my passion as; after all it is the little things in life that are truly precious. For me it its the process of making - working 30 hours a week doesn't leave much time to indulge this hobby. In the past I tended to give a lot of it away or remake once I have achieved the photo I want to make into another item. I'm now starting to sell though which is great, would be lovely to do this full time though. I am currently uploading vintage items I no longer have use for so please feel free to check out my little etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollyDaise

The Design

 Sorry, not the best drawing but kind of gives you an idea of what we decided to do with this project.  Julia, the bride wanted a simple vintage inspired design, with a late 1930s - 1940's silhouette. We decided I would create a three piece consisting of a corset, detachable shrug and skirt. The skirt we would create by cutting the dress and dropping it down to the desired length.
