Little Bride-Story of a Silk dress

My lovely neighbor just has celebrated her special day of turning 12 - Her Bat-Mitzvah (it's like sweet 16 importance wise for our Israeli girls) and I had the pleasure of sewing her special day dress

This gossamer confection is 100% pure white silk over a layer of white silk charmeuse, and further lined underneath in additional silk charmeuse layer.
Bust is composed of layers of gathered silk , all hand tacked across bodice.
Dress is lightly boned,and has a hook and eye adjustable back closure
The skirt is made of an underneath layer of silk charmeuse and pure silk on top, slightly gathered at the front of the wrap
Invisible zip at back of skirt.
French seams finish

Sneak Peek -Antique Rose Bib Necklace

A glimpse on my second New bib necklace

The base of the bib is made of recycled leather,which is then decorated with satin flowers in gorgeous hues of antique rose and complimented with recycled bits and pieces

This statement bib will immediately upgrade any simple top and will take it to another level!!!

Sneak Peek -PURE white Roses Statement Necklace

Pure White Roses

I LOVE how this statement necklace turned out!!!

To me it looks so naive and pure yet so very sexy and the most important thing is -it is made from ALL up-cycled/recycled materials

The roses were made of pure silk and satin fabric scraps -leftovers from a Bat-Mizva dress I just finished sewing a few days ago

The blings in the center of the flowers are from Sierra's crafting kit which is no longer exist

Pearls were my mom's-she has NEVER wore these because they are faux

The butterfly charm I got through one of my swaps at swap-bot

Half circle links I cut from an old top and vest I don't wear anymore (that why each is in slightly different size)

3 silver chains were found by my father in law

and so ,NO of the materials were store bought by me but the clasps :)

I'm VERY HAPPY by the results!

SOON in my ETSY shoppie
