The best tablecloth I've ever made. Rebecca Jane The best tablecloth I've ever made. Rebecca Jane and her Mom, came to us, first, for RJ's bridal alterations, and her mom mentioned something about making a tablecloth out of her old gown. I said sure! thinking it was badly stained, and not in good condition. At the second fitting RJ showed up with a giant box, reminding me of the tablecloth I was to make. After seeing the stunning gown, I replied "No. I'm sorry, I won't make a tablecloth out of this gown, it is too beautiful. But I am up for making you a rehearsal dress, for a tablecloth, you'll have to take it somewhere else." So the surprise planning began. RJ decided she would love to wear her moms gown for her rehearsal dinner, so we decided to surprise Momma Henderson. This project took four fittings total because there was more detail fit, and design decisions to be made. After completely separating each piece of the gown, I fit the top to RJ, and draped the skirt on her in the studio. At the second to last fitting she decided she wanted a bow, as you can see in the inspiration pics, so we made it removable with clear snaps. This project brought me so much joy. I love revamping old items, and to do it without her mom knowing for the extra spark of surprise, was a dream come true! Thank you for allowing me to modernize this heirloom piece RJ & Momma! And btw we still have enough fabric to make a tablecloth if you still want one. ;)

Julia came to us because she wanted the front of h Julia came to us because she wanted the front of her dress covered up a little more because the V neck was too deep. However, at the first fitting, she expressed that the belt already on the dress was too stiff and not contouring to her waist. After separating the top, belt and skirt in order to get into the belt, as they were all connected at the waistline, we found the belt was actually a band of plastic with ribbon sewn around it. To give the contour, Julia asked for, we sewed the top and skirt back together, and lastly hand sewed a satin ribbon around the waist. Thank you so much Julia for trusting us with your dress and we are so happy we could help make your big day special! Cheers! Xx
Horsehair is used to add fullness, mainly, to hems Horsehair is used to add fullness, mainly, to hems and/or any part of a garment needing it. Nowadays horsehair is plastic, but back in the day it was actual horsehair. Most of the time it can be seen in the hems of the dresses, as pictured. However, it can also be used in layers, seen in picture 8, where it lines the dress almost up to the waist, giving thin fabric fullness. The last photo is what horsehair looks like today in different sizes. Cheers! Xx
