#memoryLane #bridesmaidDress I made for a large bridal party- this one was my favourite of the group. The printed #chiffon fell so beautifully and the client was a dream!
Not your average bridesmaid dress for sure so kudos to the bride- all of her ladies had a pewter, silver colour scheme and their own designs.

#BTS during our 2018 #photoshoot as @WTL catches amazing shots of the dress. Originally I made it while working with another local designer, with whom I was her main Sewist for over 15 years while also building my own business. When she closed her shop, she asked if I wanted to take the dress- I did!
It was used as a costume for a princess in an instructional dance DVD ( that’s another story! ).
Then a few years ago I redesigned it, removing formerly sweetheart neckline and pleated sleeve head to this off the shoulder line.

![The image displays a vintage display with various pieces of clothing and related information on posters. It seems to be an exhibit showcasing products from the Tenement Workshop, possibly used for educational or promotional purposes.
On the top left, there is a faded photograph showing what appears to be a garment labeled "Flannel Satque" priced at 12¢ per dozen with additional details about its production and use on worker's uniforms. Next to it, a large sepia-toned photo shows people working in an outdoor setting under the title "PRODUCTS OF THE TENEMENT WORKSHOP."
Below these items are posters providing information about different types of work performed by workers at this workshop:
- On the top right is a poster for "Glove Finishing," detailing hand-finishing gloves with buttons and various tasks like counting out paid vouchers, sorting goods into packages, cutting sleeves from finished gloves, pressing hemmed cuffs before sewing them on. It mentions that worker earnings were $6 per week.
- The middle-right poster advertises the sale of a "Chiffer Applique" garment made for shoring up 20¢ worth and describes its construction using spangles and lace cut from Chiffon and joined together with an example price mentioned as being paid to workers (though not entirely legible).
- Below is another poster, likely advertising clothing items such as dresses or suits.
