I Completed the hip belt for this costume today. I was supposed to go to the fabric district up in L.A. to get fabric for the top, but my boy woke up in the middle of the night with the stomach flu.

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.
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.
My daughters started dancing about 8 years ago. When they did I started making costumes for the studio that they dance at. I have been making costumes and selling them professionally for about 5 years.
