Absolutely beautiful designs! I only wish we could see more of the dresses that you made. I love detail shots and close-ups mainly because during most fashion photo shoots, you just don't get to see the "real garment".

Isn't it amazing how that happens! I was stunned when I designed my Senior Collection last year and had barely gotten the first prototypes done when I went into a store and low and behold, Russell Athletics had MY SHIRT sitting there on the rack. Totally blew my mind. I knew I hadn't seen the design anywhere else...but they had to have come up with that at least a year prior to have it in the store at the time.

Thanks for the lovely compliments!
