Even though I had all the graduation exams stress going on the last couple of weeks, work did not wait for me to finish University. But I’m glad that now, when I finally got over all that mad stress, I get to enjoy looking at and posting pics of my recent fabulous clients wearing their Diana Bobar Design dresses.
You might remember Diana, from the post about the dress I made for her (read here). I told you she is gorgeous, now I can prove that I am right about that. Absolutely love her in the dress, it fits her perfectly and she seems to be enjoying herself a lot and that’s eventually all that matters. Fab Diana in fab dress, don’t you think?
I’m sure you remember Ruxi for back when I was photographing her for the website. I’m glad she turned to me in making her a couple of dresses for some weddings she will attend to this summer. The most important one is her sister’s pale pink themed wedding in the heavenly Cote D’Azur. However, this champagne colored dress is for her boss’ wedding taking place this Saturday. Congratulations to all the future brides and congratulations to Ruxi for looking like a perfect, cute doll.
I featured Leontina quite a lot recently and I’m glad about that, because she is a good friend of mine. Neverminding the fact that we are BFF’s, she purchased a lot of clothes that I made, and it makes me very happy to see her wearing the suff that I made when we go out. That is such a great feeling! She doesn’t come over to my place very often, just because we both are so busy working, but whenever she does, she loves to try out all the dresses she sees around and always ends up getting something new. Great to have such friends, no?
These are some variations on this type of dress that I first made for the spring 2008 colection. It turned out to be a great success commercially (meaning I sold it a lot) and I’m thinking of making it in different types of colors/fabrics. The best part is that I integrate some thin strech bands at the waist, for a better fit. Get ready to see more variations of this dress very soon.
I made these two dresses in one day only: making the pattern, cutting the fabric, sewing the dresses, fitting it on the client, finishing them and also applying the Swarovsky cristals with my own fingers at the end. I must admit it was like a working marathon that day, but as long as the client was happy, I was happy, so it was all good! And I actually loved how the purple dress turned out; I’m not much of an orange fan, so nevermind the one :).
Mara promised to send me pictures from the wedding she wore her dress to. However, good thing that I made some on my own, so that I can post them right now. I made it in basic black, so that it can be worn with different types/colors of belts. Also, I came up with the idea of the golden pleats bolero after I made a basic black one which was too tight. Yes, stress can get positive results.
Gabriela, the organiser of the ‘My Grandma’s Backyard‘ fashion&accessories event wore this kimono jacket from hte fall’08 colection, at one of the event’s editions. Lovely how she wore it with Coca Zaboloteanu shoes and it does look like she had a lot of fun! I am still so very sorry that I couldn’t attent the B’est Fest music Festival. I heard Roisin Murphy was in Gabriela’s tent. How amazing was it if she would have looked through my clothes and actually got something??? Oh, well, maybe next time!
Kate is the sweetest girl from Skokie, IL, U.S.A . It took some time for the dresses to get ot her, but eventually the wait was over and as you can see, she likes and rocks them a lot! Thank you so much Kate for both the support and the patience, and I can’t wait to send you more of my designs, all the way to U.S.A.
Still have to finish a few orders today, but this weekend I plan to go visit my parents and meet all my friends (everybody is vacationing right now, so most are back in their/my hometown), hopefully even have summer fun in the sun, at a lovely lake not far from where my parents live. Will get back to work next week however, because I can’t really take too many days off (the work would just pile up and it’s not goot to work under so much stress - talking from experience), also, I got my first wedding dress order, so I’m quite excited about that!
