Behind the Scenes of My Custom Made Couture Dress

After dreaming up this latest design,  I found out I would be attending the Opera while on holiday in New York. To mark the occasion I thought what a perfect event to wear such a glamorous dress. So to work my Mom and I went on creating such a delicate gown.  The double tier full skirt is Made from the best silk in Italy (Taroni) and the elegant top from Italian Lace and the waistband  is fitted with a silk bow belt. – THE WIFE

My lovely Mom, a.k.a The Seamstress, Threads a needle to get ready to hand stitch the hem.

Yards of Italian lace take up the kitchen counter.
