The Gem

I am proudly presenting one of my best creations. This dress design was waiting for 7 years to finally see the world. I made a sketch in 2002 but never found a customer to whom I can offer it... until this February.

I created not only a dress but also a complete outfit for the partner. Actually it was him who came first to order his outfit. Then he saw that 7 years old design and it was a perfect match from the first look. The following weekend I had a complete couple sitting in front of me. They both were thrilled about getting matching outfits. The only tiny little problem was that I had no time to finish all 3 pieces without doing the nights through. This couple is very young and very successful. Today they will go for the title of the regional champions. Could I say "no"? No! So I braced myself for a few sleepless nights. I am so lucky that I have two fairies Susie and Angelika who come to help me when I need them. Susie was helping with putting stones on the dress and Angelika did the most unexciting work as taking out cottons, ironing, fixing small things which take incredible amount of time. We were working like crazy. But it was worth it.

When the girl entered the room and saw the dress her breath was taken away and she couldn't say a word. So did her mom and partner. Also her partner looks so mature and stylish in his new outfit. I couldn't let them go without taking a few pictures. The shooting was very short but I love the results. I hardly could part myself from the dress and give it away. But I am sure it will bring them luck and golden medals will match it perfect.
