Patricia is a model godparent in the sense that she offers endless encouragement. I was very eager to do my absolute best for her!

The garment took about three weeks- compressed- to complete. Starting with sketching, measurements, two muslin creations, two fittings, fabric sourcing and purchasing ,cutting, assembly, embellishments, finishing and cleaning. 

I was tasked to solve a couple of figure problems to truly create a form that compliments Godmother Patricia. With innate skills and tailoring magic I was able to achieve a goal that some would cower from. 

“You will do it with love, because that is who you are.”  - Godmother Pat

I am so grateful to have been part of this moment in her life. She truly was the belle of the ball.
