I’ve been working on several dresses for weddings- for the Mother of the Groom- known as MOG. These are very engaging to make as they are for very important occasions and will be photographed and remembered - for years to come, hopefully. It’s usually a process of finding just the right fabric and style to suit the mother and make her feel comfortable and stylish.
Silk satin skirt and blouse - hand-painted by Eve Vaterlaus - with silk Dupioni jacket
This client knew she wanted some hand-painting after seeing Eve’s work at my studio. Since the wedding was to be in her home garden with blue Hydrangeas, we chose the colors to blend in.
Textured silk chiffon in blues and lilacs with a lilac silk lining and blue silk chiffon trim.
This wedding was also taking place at the client’s home garden. She wanted something light and romantic. A great dress to dance in. Years ago I made her wedding outfit- a fushia pink suit with navy trim.
wool jacket with silk cloquè trim and pants.
This is an altered suit for a client starting with a jacket I made many years ago. I added the silk cloquè insert and collar and we made pants to finish the outfit. The original skirt (below ) was also painted by Eve Vaterlaus
Altered wool jacket with crinkled silk chiffon skirt- hand painted with feathers by Eve Vaterlaus.
Hermes Sun silk panel and dress made with hand-dyed 4-ply silk panels.
I was just fooling around in my studio with some appliquès I have collected and some fringe I made by cutting nude chiffon - It somehow looks right at home next to the Hermes silk panel destined to become a skirt.
