Last Bride of 2025
My last bride of 2025 🥰🫶🏾 In my studio, we focus on fit first. “Flattering” is personal… it can only be defined by the wearer. While I truly loved how the gown turned out, the journey to the finish line was not easy. We went through a lot together to get there. One major lesson I took away from this experience is this….. you can go above and beyond for a client, but once wedding pressure sets in, many forget the original agreements and guidelines established during the booking process. In the end, she clearly loved her dress and that’s what mattered most. But it does leave me reflecting on something important: why are clients so excited to book us, yet struggle to trust us once the process begins? This season reminded me that craftsmanship is only part of the job …. education, communication, and boundaries are just as important. Ask me anything about this look. Let’s chat! 🫶🏾

Fabric Shopping Prom 2026
I went to Rosa Fabrics and Gail K Fabrics today in Norcross! I’ve been shopping there for years and the fabrics are 🔥🔥 ‼️ They get better each year! Gail k low key had everything especiallly 3D rhinestones and appliqués bodices, ect . This store would be excellent for last minute orders with no time for supplies to ship!

@Yemi Kuyoro honestly they are considered a little high however when I factored in shipping from my order on alibaba.. it came out to almost close in price…. The fabric ranged from $15-$200 per yard in Rosa.. that’s fabric in gold was $150 per yard. Most of the 3d rhinestones in Gail K were $24-30 And bodices $90-$200 . I considered Gail k to be an excellent place for last minute orders without the time to get air for shipments. You will pay a little more but I took note of their pricing so I can charge accordingly 🫶🏾🫶🏾

Muslin
I officially decided towards the end of last year that I was going to start using muslin so I won’t mess up my gorgeous fabrics. I was able to purchase some earlier this month. I made a demo mermaid skirt for my Vow renewal (re-do). I thought I was a size 20 in store bought patterns. I’m actually a size 22 due to curves. I found the corset top I want but it only goes to a 2XL. Do you guys have any advice? I’m more home schooled and self taught. 😮💨😪😓

@Vertrell Jones now what’s the measurement of the 2xl corset? If I have a clients who’s waist is 39.5 then her corset waist for me would be between 32-33 inches for a super snatch. You still may have to make some small adjustments to your cup to fit your bust size and back coverage depending how low it is but it could be a good starter. I want to see the pattern or muslin to see what’s wrong 🧐 Another thing… before you cut again… you would need to divide your bust, waist, hip by 4 but also make sure you measure your side seam to center back. This is how much the butt curves out in the back. That’s usually where there isn’t enough room if you’re not super hippie however I’m just throwing things out… I need to see something to give effective advice.

@Vertrell Jones if the bust line is similar to the picture.. prepare to make adjustments if you don’t want your boobs spilling all over. You can still achieve the same look but the cup will make or break the moment
