Everything made so far

A small number of dresses each season, told properly rather than counted. Four projects, every one of them photographed on the person it was made for.

Three Dresses, One Wedding Day

Taylor came to us for a wedding gown and left with three. Over six months we built two dresses from scratch and reworked a third from her grandmother's wedding dress: a ceremony gown, an evening look, and a bridal shower set, each made to her measurements. It is still the project we are proudest of, and the one that taught us how much a single wedding day can hold.

Draped Elegance

A production team in Oregon was building a styled shoot around one idea, draped elegance in deep red, and asked us to dress the bride. We made a stretch-based column gown with a long train and sent it across the country: the client was never in our studio, and every fitting happened remotely, from measurements alone. Seeing it come back in someone else's photographs, on a set we had never stood in, was its own kind of proof.

Two Dresses, Two Friends, One Afternoon

Not every dress starts with a bride. These two were made for the pleasure of making them: one sharp and covered in sequins, one soft and full of tulle, and then worn for an afternoon by two friends who agreed to be photographed. It is the closest thing we have to thinking out loud: no brief, no deadline, just the shapes we wanted to try.

The One She Made for Herself

Aleksandra saw this shape on Instagram late one night and decided she wanted it, for herself, for one evening. She padded a dress form until it matched her own body, drew her figure onto it in marker and black tape, and built the dress on that: a black velvet bodice, blush tulle beneath, natural ostrich feathers at the shoulder.
