Prom Tales 2014: Part 1

Wow! It's hard to believe that it has been that long since my last post *covers face*. There's another new year's resolution that ought to be worked on in this second half of this very fast paced year. It has been an amazing one indeed, extremely hectic but I'm so grateful for it. This also means that I have lots to share with you and hopefully I can keep churning them out more frequently for you to see :)

This prom season has also been an exciting one, I have done a total of 6 dresses with colours ranging from pastels to nudes to brights! I will be sharing them with you in this year's edition of Prom Tales.

First of is Praise who isn't a new face on the blog. ( http://www.wurafola.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/back-in-time-50s.html ) For her year 11 prom, she wanted a mint green dress and was really into a dress she'd seen on Nicole Scherzinger. Together we worked to create her vision. Styled with a very elegant updo bun by Jadoy Hair and a vintage brooch, Praise looked ever so stunning.

I think this will make for a lovely bridesmaid dress. Brides don't worry about being upstaged by your bridesmaids looking glam, they will only make you look better! ;)

Back in Time : 50s

Happy New Year lovely readers! Yes I know it's already the 21st day of the year.. (SMH at me)! ! 2014 is already a very exciting year for me & the brand! I look forward to creating & sharing more and more beautiful dresses; and possibly my first wedding gown. :D Hope you've all caught the bug; the good bug that gives the feeling of a brilliant year ahead!!

Today's post is reminiscent of the 50's. Think Grease, Cadillac Records & my major inspiration coming from Maggie Gyllenhall's character in Mona Lisa Smile - Giselle Levy; a sexually advanced student who is even said to have slept with the studly Italian teacher :O :O lool. She is beautiful, understanding and very stylish!

Praise is a lovely, stunning girl who had been invited to a 50's themed awards evening and I asked to make her a dress. Florals + dusty pink + lace make up this gorgeous dress that I absolutely love. We did the photo shoot in the very arty Fish Island.

 

Hope I did the 50's justice :)
