Red Dress Fashion Gala

I'm getting really bad at posting new entries!!  I realized that I forgot to post a little something about the Red Dress Fashion Show!!  It was wonderful.  Our special guest, Chantal Kreviazuk was fantastic and the dresses were gorgeous!!  I have to say, I just saw the dresses from the show in Toronto and ours were just as nice if not nicer!! Awesome work ladies!!

My model, Samantha Robichaud, international violinist.  I'm not being biased when I say I feel i had the best model this year!  She played her fiddle down the runway and wow, she is awesome.  She brought my design to life more then I could have ever imagined.

All the dresses from the show.  They rocked the runway!

A closeup of a few of the models.  

Moi et ma modele fabuleuse!!! I made my dress as well!

A Perfect 10

Wow, I can't believe I haven't written in a month!!  All I can say is I was sew busy ;)  So, here is a peak at what I was up to.  

This is from the NBCCD show from two weeks ago.  My friend Gill and I decided to do a collaboration in celebration of 10 years since graduating!  We called it "A Perfect 10".  Our models were fabulous and our hair stylist did an amazing job!  Thank you, Amy!

More to come!

This is one of Gill's lovely creations.  This girl definitely worked it!

This is my first piece out on the runway.  I called this one my Yin Yang dress. lol.  

Back of the dress...no that's not her underwear.  I had a mini placket.

Gill's next creation.  The lovely Emerald colour of this dress is not as evident in the picture but it was sooo nice!

This was one my favourites to make.  I designed it last summer and have seen so many similar designs I almost took it out! Then I thought, hey I know when I designed it and I wasn't copying anything I saw.  She rocked it. The lining is a wild animal like print...so fun!

The back has buttons...a little detail I decided to add rather than a zipper.  

This is my Red Dress from last year!!! I had to put it out on the runway.

This seafoam dress is so light and springy!! I loved it.

The back had a great little sparkly detail at the neck but you can't see it here!!! 

Can you tell I helped out with the designing....all the ruffles!!!   This one is Gill's too!

I had to make something Minty....this fabric was very ummm sensitive to work with.  I wanted something billowy and free.  The fabric was very light.  There is also a jewel detail on the belt but hard to see from there!

Oh that's me....in my dress!  I want to wear it out somewhere fabulous but I dunno where....I bought those crazy high shoes for the show...then I remembered how much I don't walk in heels...I still have a blister. 

My co-desgner and awesome friend.   She was so sparkly in her dress!  I loved all that gold!
