Hand painted fabric

It's almost summer- you deserve a new dress!

I have dresses in my studio both new and from seasons past waiting to be tried on for the right fit and match. Each is unique- one-of-a-kind and hand made with love by me. They will be reduced in price for the next few weeks, so please contact me if you would like to make a appointment-

My studio is on the ground floor of London Terrace Gardens in Chelsea close to the Highline and numerous art galleries.

Love is in the Air

The weather is dismal, news unrelenting, flus and colds persist . .and yet. . .

As you can probably tell if you’ve looked at my website or blog, I love working with patterns. When a client brought a scarf back from Indonesia with the request that it inspire an outfit, we were off and running.

I gave the scarf to my collaborator, artist Eve Vaterlaus, to come up with some ideas. After some back and forth she painted a motif of roses and apples that the client loved.

Hand-painted cotton blouse with cotton piping and etched bone buttons - cotton, wool and silk skirt

Client likes a coordinated vest for the warm weather in Indonesia rather than a jacket

we designed the blouse in an Asian style to better show off the fabric print and I went against sartorial rules for a women’s garment and fastened the blouse from left to right for the same reason..

The piped edges and facing gave a weight to the garment - I love the minimal back

Still loving and having fun with the wax prints and my new dress form from Andy’s dress forms that fits me perfectly! I now want all the sizes from Andy’s!! They are made by hand in NYC

A Happy Belated Valentines Day to All❣️

Flowers from my darling husband❤️
