Photoshoot at Victoria's Tea House

Desiree Singletary October 27, 2018

Fall is here in Austin and I am loving the cooler weather and leaves falling. Also digging these bold jewel tones for autumn in my most recent shoot I had the pleasure to be apart of. I was invited to join some talented local vendors for a photoshoot at the beautiful Victoria Tea House just outside Austin in Round Rock, Texas.

Featuring my Michaela dress from my fairytale Fall 2018 collection.

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination

If you want to see magic lands
Close your eyes and you will see one

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it

What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

Dressmaking Class 101

Desiree Singletary October 22, 2017

Over the weekend, I held a DressMaking Class for two eager ladies. With little sewing experience, and a lot of direction, we are creating custom made dresses!

Before even bringing out our fabric, they were taught how to change the standard size 8 sloper into their bust cup size, and measurements.

I was impressed with how they both wanted to really understand everything, and why it was, even with the grading, and pattern making. ----(which is not always the 'fun' part)

The 'fun' part!

I made some Earl Grey tea for the hardworking gals with my great, great Grandmother's china. I love using my antique pieces, and I also have some other tea cups from her around my sewing room as decoration. Eric wants to make me a china cabinet. :O Need a bigger place for that.

The iron is always on while sewing! Pressing is key.

We finished!

These two ladies had no idea how to make a dress before attending my workshop, and now they are both wearing a custom made dress they drafted, and sewed themselves!

So proud!

I have so many behind the scenes photos of custom orders, I decided to make a combined post. Can't wait to get back photographer's photos of the following on their special days!
