i offer custom embellishment for your existing garment using recycled and found materials. if you want to use something from your mother, or great grandmother, or if you want the sleeves and shoulder pads removed from their wedding dress, and something added, we can work together on the design
send me a garment that fits you, whether from a garage sale, or a bridal shop off-the-rack, along with anything you'd love for me to marry with the design, and i'll happily incorporate my own embellishments in custom colors or details that will make it uniquely yours. i can email pictures as i go along, so that we're both on the same page. see the collection page and click on the hippo to see some examples of my work, and to get some ideas for your own design. examples of custom work are here
embellishments start at $200 to cover my time, the cost of materials, sourcing those items, shipping, and dyes
please allow at least one month for completion, and there are no returns on custom orders
if you're concerned about what might happen to a sentimental garment, like your grandmother's dress getting cut to pieces, it would best if we figured out another option
email me with questions, concerns, or to place an order
