Just finished new outfit. I really think this turned out great. I wish my model had a head so you could really see how the whole thing looks together.
The bra top is a lot of hard work. It has to be mostly hand sewn.

I completed this new top today

for the customer. I really like the way
it came out. The customer suggested the shell.
I think it looks great. This is a simple strapless
bra, covered with fabric. It is partially machine sewn and partially hand sewn. It will look much better that coconuts.

Things aren't going good today

I finished this outfit today. It ended up not being what the customer wanted. You may end up seeing this in my Etsy store soon unless I can get it ironed out.

I received an order yesterday for 2 sets of Tahitian Dance Costumes. The 1st order I have had in a week or so. This is good considering I am going to Hawaii in a fer weeks, so it is good that I am slow right now. I hope to come home with some new supplies and maybe even some new costume styles.
I will post photos as soon as I finish the costumes. They are ti leaf headpieces and belts with a solid pareo and a vintage fabric covered bra top.

A New Bigger Headpiece

I just completed this headpiece this morning. It is a special order for a customer that wanted something a little bigger than I normally make. Also this headpiece is made with mostly coque feathers( the rooster tail) So it is rather expensive. I do love the color combination.
