Lavinia’s custom made navy lace bubble dress.

Lavinia is a salsa dancer from Constanta. She got to know my work from the NewElle store and for her birthday last month she wanted me to make her a dress. She knew exactly what she wanted, we decided on the color, she sent over her measurements and I made this dress for her. I was a bit scared about the fit of the dress,  but I was relieved to see how good the dress looked on her. <3

I also created these separates for her to mix&match and wear more often in different ways. Cyclamen silk draped top with a gray cotton pencil skirt. Beige silk shift dress with sleeves.

They were the ‘belles of the ball’ and that makes me sooooo proud. :)

Anne wore a silk cropped jacket that I made, at her wedding. Her sister also wears a purple short dress with a deeply-cut out back.

Raluca looks pretty while wearing a turquoise silk one shoulder dress and a silk light grey jacket. Got the pics from Facebook. I love it when I find pictures of my work being worn.

My sisters finished her exams, so she helps a lot these days at the atelier. She also makes stuff for herself, trying out different patterns and fabrics. She made these navy cotton shorts a couple of days ago.

Plum silk draped dress made for Oana; Flo also made this printed dress for herself a week ago. I am very proud that she learns so fast! And now I am off to finish photographing the small collection that I just finished for the ‘My Second Floor’ Boutique in Kuwait!

I am so proud of Paula! She is the young lady that I wrote about a couple of posts ago, who invited us to her daughter’s Christening, where I felt proud to see so many girls wearing dresses that I made.

Well, now it’s time to support her in her first endeavor as a freshly published author. Her book ‘ Celofan De Apa’ will be launched this Thursday in Timisoara, with a live concert by Madalin Luca, a photography exhibit by Diana Bodea with installations by Cosmin Haias, Sorin Oncu, Iulia Pordea. You are all invited, of course!

And she will wear a custom made dress by me. I can not wait!!!

Andra, Doriana and Oana at their prom, wearing dresses that I custom made for them – that means we worked together to create them. Whenever a client has an idea about the dress that she wants to wear, we develop it together. I love that it’s teamwork, so that in the end it is the best version of the dress that she had in mind in the first place.

This way I also get to learn a lot about the likes/dislikes of my customer, experience that I will certainly need once I start growing my business by hiring more people.

Love Andra’s funky accessories.

Doriana in her lovely garden before the prom.

Roswitha at her prom in a pretty little purple tulle dress.

Love that the girls have fun wearing their dresses. That means they feel comfortable and good and that is very important for me.

Daiana and Evelina are from Moldova Noua and they came all the way to Timisoara for the fittings of their dresses. Love how well Daiana wore her hair. She owns the look! <3

Ioana at her prom in her black shift dress with attachments on the shoulder. Lovely nude platform pumps!

Alina wears a green silk draped dress that I made for her. She certainly stood out in a crowd.

And she was such a trooper for wearing that heavy necklace all night for the sake of the complete cool look. ;)

Adela looks pretty and feminine in her striped short, tight dress. I worked a lot making this dress just because she couldn’t come for fittings, as she lives all the way on the opposite side of the country – that means I had to be extra careful when I made it, I must have measured it a million times before finishing it. I felt such relief when I saw how well it fit her even without a fitting.

Diana, Andrada, Roxi and Oana at their prom, all wearing dresses that I custom made for them. Diana wearing a blue corset tulle dress with Mono platform pumps.

Andrada’s navy plum ruffle dress and Oana’s cream Grecian inspired draped dress.

And I know Romina was not at her prom in this purple dress that I made for her, but the style of the photos and the overall positive energy they exude made me decide to post them here.

She told me she does not really wear dresses and high heels, but she pulled it off quite nicely. I am very proud! I, of course, love her black, cut-out heels.

Romina wore her dress at the sister’s child christening. I also made the caramel silk top that her sister wears in the picture above.

I am so proud and excited whenever I receive or Facebook-find pics of dresses that I made, being worn by such confident and fun young ladies. Makes me really happy.

This Saturday I decided to go out and socialize at SHORTS UP – the night of short movies. Hopefully it will be fun and I won’t get too tired too soon. If you are in Timisoara on Saturday I’ll see you there! ;)

Thanks to Doru for the invitation.
