My adorable baby girl in her tutu! 💖
Currently I have so much extra tulle I am going to be selling them on my etsy shop. I will have sizes ranging from newborn to 5 years.

Baby Tutu's
For my baby girls one month pictures I made an adorable tutu. It turned out so well, I plan to make so many more. I have an eight year old boy so I didn't get to do the cute ruffles, pink, frills, and tut's before so this little girl is going to bet getting smothered in frills until she tells me it's not her thing.

Floral Obsessed !
There is a new pattern that I just can't get enough of! Watercolor floral patterns are everywhere and I can not get enough of it.
I have been obsessed with rosegold for a while and pairing it with this new floral pattern is simply breath taking.
Rose gold jeans and a floral bomber, this outfit is edgy and casual. Love it!!
I hope to find some fabric like this and make some amazingly beautiful things of my own!
This one is my favorite!!

So many changes
After a long long long pause I have decided to pick up my blogs again. I have gotten so caught up with school work and my family that I haven't made the time to blog and I have missed it so very much.
I haven't done as much with my fashion as I would like but I am still designing and I am still making clothes. I just had a new baby in March so I have a little free time to try to get my etsy shop in better shape, right now its empty, so sad. I also might also be getting the opportunity to set up a consignment deal in a local boutique, fingers crossed.
Ever since I found out I was pregnant with a girl I have gone little baby clothing crazy! I love all the ruffles, tulle, lace and flowers. There are quite a few things I want to make myself, I almost spent $12 on a tutu and than realized how stupid that would be. I have a tote full of tulle, a spool full of thin elastic and I can make a tutu. I am still trying to figure out how to balance everything with my new baby and still be able to create but I am sure I will get there.
I have so many ideas I have a had time slowing my mind down to just concentrate on one. For now I plan to concentrate on the stuff I am going to flood my etsy shop with. I started making these adorable retro inspired bralette and circle skirt sets. I also have a design for sunbathing suits with matching robes. I also am hoping to be able to put these items in the boutique as well as some lingerie. I have made on babydoll and it turned out beautifully I am working on a few other vintage inspired designs.
I will be updating everyone on my projects and can't wait to get stuff made!

Smaller and Smaller
I watch the runway shows and I look at the ads and I've been noticing all the models are looking smaller and smaller. I am extremely disappointed at the fashion industry at the moment.
Here are a few SHOCKING facts:
The average runway model is size 0-4
Runway models today weigh 23% less then the average american women, in 1999 the average model weighed 8% less
The average plus size model is size 6-12
Most runway models reach the criteria for anorexia
Now here are some facts about the average woman.
The average woman is a size 14
95% of women want to be thinner, these are over and underweight women
65% of women in the US have an eating disorders
The average woman should wear a size 8-10, if they are of average height which is 5'7, to be considered healthy.
I don't understand why designers can't use women that will actually be wearing the clothing so we can see what it will really look like. I feel that if designers used average sized women they could benefit so many people. I don't think we would be so obsessed about looking like they do so our clothes can fit like that, and if women aren't stressing about trying to look like models then could actually be healthier.
According to a recent test by Elissa Epal, PhD stress increases adrenalin, corticorophin, which releases CRH and cortisol, now adrenalin and CRH gives you instant energy as well as decrease your appetite, however it doesn't last long which leaves cortisol and leaves the body slower as well as increases your appetite.
I love fashion, I want to be a designer and own my own line. But when I look at all of these unhealthy girls I get worried that I wont be able to survive in the industry.
For everyone that knows me I am a big girl. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. And it took me a long, long time to be able to look in the mirror, most days, and say 'I look pretty'
I eat right, I don't drink soda often and I drink a lot of water. I exercise, and I have a toddler that keeps me busy but for some reason I can't seem to lose weight. I have tried everything I can think of for the longest time, meal replacement shakes, pills so many pills, special protein bars, everything but nothing seems to work. I also have a form of body dysmorphia , which is usually only associated with bulimia and anorexia. With this disorder most people see themselves as larger then they are I see myself as smaller then I am, I feel smaller, and when I diet I feel scary thin. But when I look in at a picture or look at myself in the mirror I see that I am a big girl.
Now like I said most days I can look in a mirror and be ok, but we all have the bad days where we can't help but pick about the things we hate about ourselves. And I am not saying its ok to be overweight and I am in no way telling anyone how they should see themselves. But there is not one person I know that doesn't wish they could be thinner, we all want to look good and have people tell us 'oh my god! you look so good.' but you don't have to be a size 0 to get told you look great.
I know that Marilyn Monroe is referenced a lot but she is a great example of going against everything society thinks we should be. If Marilyn Monroe was alive to day her hips would measure a size 16 and her waist a size 8, she was very much an hourglass. But the thing that most people saw wasn't her dress size it was her confidence! It was the fact that when she walked into a room she stood tall and liked to be looked at, even if she wasn't as thin as all of the critics thought she should be.
I guess my final point is that no matter who you are, what you look like or how you see yourself you are beautiful. and as soon as you start seeing yourself that way nothing can stop you from getting every thing you want.

Oh my time has flown!
Holy shit I cant believe its already almost fall! I have been keeping very busy with my four jobs and sewing on the side lol.
But lately I have had some time so I hope I can get to it again.
So I have three different drafts saved on here so I am going to start with the wedding dress I made!
I was asked to design and create a wedding dress for an amazing couple.
Riley and Kirsten Turner both fun, caring, and amazing women! I worked with Kirsten and I have never met anyone who loves life so much. after spending time with her and Riley you know that they are the couple that will last forever. They embody the kind of relationship anyone could dream of.
Riley s dress was a 1950's inspired dress. It was knee length, three quarter sleeve, square neck and made of champagne taffeta, zippered back, and buttons at the sleeves. I loved making this dress!
Here are a few of my favorite pictures.
