Once upon a time in the far away land of Sellersburg, I designed this dress. Since then it has been an ever popular design. Truth be told, Princess Belle was always my favorite princess. Maybe that is because my very first date was to see Beauty and the Beast. So when I planned a trip to Disney World with my babies, I was so excited when Savannah Rose chose to be Belle. Yes, there are some amazing costumes out there, and some even sold by the parks. But as moms, I think we always want our kids to stand out. To be noticed. I didn't want her in a dress that was sold in the masses. That was when I dreamed up this dress. My take on the popular princess. The vacation ended up being a huge pride boost for me. Not only was my daughters noticed for their costumes, but I was noticed. People were stopping us all over the parks asking where they could get the costumes. That being early on in my design career, I was not smart enough to keep business cards on me all the time. What surprised me the most was staff asking me about my designs. Maybe because of my ignorance it did not turn into a large form of sales because of not keeping my business cards on me, but the pride boost was enough to keep me designing and keep my inspiration towards new and unique designs. That being said, I know that some who are celebrating birthdays, vacations, or dress-up days don't always want to drop a large dime on something your child might only wear once or twice. That was when I came up with the "yourbudget" costumes. Within reason, I have designed costumes to meet the client's budget. Some want the grand-over the top-make my child noticed costumes. However, some just want the appearance of the costume. So whether it belongs in the Once Upon a Time category, or you are just looking for a costume to for a simple event, contact me to get away from the ordinary. Want some ideas or to shop my current designs in our Once Upon a Time collection: ![]() Sleeping Beauty

Well it has been quite some time since I visited the blog. Between holidays and actively working on the new collection there wasn't a whole lot of time for writing. There is so much that goes into a collection like this. From dreaming to sketching to purchasing fabrics and trims....and then of course re-thinking the design because you couldn't find that exact fabric. And even then you still are not completely ready to cut or sew. Being from a small time like Seymour, we don't exactly have models at our disposal. So doing a model call around here, you might not get the exact size you are looking for. So, you have to design the clothes to fit the models you get. I was very pleased with the models that came my way, and when I met with each one of them, it sparked even MORE imagination to this collection. The day of the shoot, I was tired after a week of "making it work" and one solid all-nighter. But boy was I pleased at how well each design fit the model's personality. They rocked it!!
