A little #behindthescenes of how this collection came to life…a muslin corset that I made in college! I have always had a love for learning all about corsetry and made this particular pattern in my couture class at Parsons over a decade ago 🙈. When I found this in my studio it inspired me to take it apart, edit and perfect the fit to be used as the pattern for the underpinnings of these new gowns! #bridalfashion #weddingdress #custombride #custombridalgowns #charlestonbride #weddingdressinspiration

I N S I D E O U T - the 2024 collection is almost live and we can’t wait to see all the gorgeous brides in Charleston try on these new styles!

A lot of what this collection is about has to do with showing behind the scenes and the process for how each gown is made. That said, we’ll start from the top. After I sketch out a new collection there’s a lot of editing, notes and hours of staring at these drawings to make it as cohesive and modern as possible. Truthfully though, I’m typically in my pajamas sketching after the kids go to sleep, not wearing a dress in the studio. 🤣 #charlestonwedding #custombride #bridetobe #weddinginspiration #weddingdressdesigner
