Silk one shoulder dress with pleated blue details made for Carmen.

Fur vest made also for Carmen. I can’t wait to fit her in thins vest, so that I can see it being worn.

Light cream tutu tulle skirt made for Alexandra. I also altered this dress that I had at the atelier for my sister, Florina.

She wore it with the oversize blazer that day and with a green belt. <3 it.

Long black strapless dress made for Iasmina. She also got this brown lace dress that was at the atelier. It needed no altering, which of course always makes me happy. :)

Black and gray wool wrap coat made for Cristina. It can be worn on both sides and comes with custom made waistbands.

And I am not even close to finishing all the work I have left for this week. Means that I’ll work this weekend again all day. At least there are some very exciting projects in the works. Can not wait to tell you more about everything.

Have a fab,fab week-end. :)

I would rather go skiing right now, but I have to work this weekend. I am trying to finish a couple more orders from the long list of ‘to do work’. Because I neglected the blog this week, I decided that today was a great day to post all the client order pictures that have gathered in my ‘DB dresses’ folder.

So, made the first pair of wickedly pleated asymmetric pants for Doriana. Working on the pattern above and the end result below.

I did put some work into making these pleated pants, started from creating the pattern from scratch, so I am glad to see Doriana wearing them so well!

Also, a gray wool skirt with an asymmetric detail at the back.

Diana’s navy silk dress was a real challenge, as the fabric used had no stretch whatsoever. And it’s quite difficult to fit such a dress tight to the body. But I absolutely love how it turned out. The bow on the shoulder is attached like a brooch and the waistband is also separate, so the dress can be worn simple or with different accessories.

Gray and cobalt blue wool wrap coat that can be worn on both sides. Made for Ioana.

The waistbands for the coat.

And so that my mother doesn’t worry about my health - I felt a bit sick a couple of days ago - here proof that I eat healthy (chicken with vegetables and cheese) . So good to be living with my sister, she cooks the most delish meals.

Hopefully mom is happy now and I can go back to work.

Recently, me and Florina did a bit of second hand shopping because my ‘only black’ obsession is almost over, so I am starting to wear color again and have fun with trying out different looks, like I did when I first started with the blog. Because THAT is actually how it all started, with ‘today’s looks’ of my sometimes crazy colorful mostly SH outfits. Above is also a detailed pic with my fur earmuffs. They are my best friends this winter, a present from Florina because I always told her how much I wanted a pair. She got the vintage fur-glove-replacement-thing for herself (pictured on the right).

This peachy jersey wrap sweater is actually the beginning of my ‘wrap jackets’ idea. It all started from here last summer, when I needed a sweater to wear at work because I was cold. So I just used the most comfortable fabric I could find and randomly made a pattern. Then, last fall, I went from there, making my [now] very popular wool wrap jackets, which can be worn on both sides. Please ignore my hair here, it’s dirty and I am actually very tired, after a day of sewing and pattern cutting.

I am usually against buying new fur, but we got this jacket at a local SH store, so it’s some sort of recycling and  besides, it is actually very very cold outside. Anyway, made this pic for Carola, will wear it more glamorously next time, I promise.

Cobalt blue and black wool wrap jacket - can be worn on both sides.

Custom made black tulle tutu skirt and gray heavy-weight tulle tutu skirt made for a FrouFrou’s customer. FrouFrou’s owner and Madame Mode’s Leonie shows how it’s done:

Lovely cool and inspiring looks in case you don’t know how to wear a tulle tutu skirt.

Have a great new week!

So I made a belated Christmas present to myself, or wait for it: and early Birthday present! Does not matter the reasons right? The important fact is that these lovely navy YSL tribute pumps are mine and I will cherish them forever from now on. Of course I’ll also wear them, even if I am like 2 meters tall when wearing them, but hey, doesn’t really matter!

I can say I am an official fashion blogger now, owning at least a pair of amazingly fabulous high heels. I feel a bit more complete on the inside. :))

Florina also got herself these lovely Jil Sander pumps with the wicked heel.

This is our new couch for the ‘upgraded atelier’. It just arrived while we were high heel shopping. So not only am I a bit more complete because of the YSL heels but our workspace also is.

I officially call this one helluva fantastic day and I love that I can share it on the blog. Hope you’ll have a great day also!

I found this picture of Gabriela on her Facebook profile, it’s from her prom and she is wearing a cream silk dress I made for her last summer. We wanted to highlight the hot pink high heels and that’s why we chose to go with a neutral/nude color for the dress.

It fits her fantastically and we actually made no fitting whatsoever, because we live in exact opposite parts of Romania. She just sent me her correct measurements and we perfectly understood each other regarding the design of the dress and it turned out perfectly. I am glad she had so much time at her prom and it is so incredible to see my work making people so happy, even if for only one night. It certainly looked like it was a fantastic prom night.

I myself will fabulously go back to work now.
