This is her graduation dress...This is one of the many unforgettable dresses I have ever made in the early 90s...copied from the movie 'Pretty Woman'...i had to watch the film, play and pause until i got the design right.. ;)

But, we changed the style of the sleeves because the nuns at the Catholic school where this young lady went did not approve of tiny sleeves like that of Julia Roberts wore in the movie...I love that movie too ;) .. i still watch it once in a while ;)....

i love hats ;)

one of the few hats I designed and made for the races ;)...i have always wanted to learn proper hat making and decorating ;)... i just don't have enough time for it though :(....maybe later on ;)..

My first design ;)

This is me at 17 years old ;) . That was a loooong time ago :( . This is one of my first designs . The material was white cotton with tiny black polka dots. I loved it because I received so many comments about how nice it was ;) .. Looking at it now, I think it's a bit too short. If I had a daughter, I don't think I would let her wear anything shorter than 4 inches above the knee. But, I remember in those days, that skirt was already considered long because the micro mini was very much in fashion..And the fashion today is very much like when I was a teenager in the 70s...
