The trunk show was a lot of fun. It was sad that it was my last day of work, but we all went out afterwards! I forgot to take pictures of the corduroy skirts. I will take one today when I go up to M to say goodbye. You can kind of see them in the pictures.
Trunk Show is almost here! I have finally finished all of the dresses. I will put up pictures tomorrow morning. M is offering 15% off all M merchandise during the trunk show. I can’t wait!!
Brian and Amy’s wedding was beautiful. Despite the chiller than expected weather it was perfect. It was held outside at Rose Hill Estate in Aiken, which was such a gorgeous place. I wish I would have gotten more pictures, but I was just too cold.
Amy and me at the rehearsal dinner. I made 2 dresses to choose from for the rehearsal dinner. There will be one that resembles this one at the trunk show!
Will and I before the wedding. My brother loves to wear his ellen&ollie ties!
My family
A few of my cousins. Elizabeth, the girl in the middle, has on a dress from M!
I got so many compliments on the shawl I wore. It was my grandmother’s.
My cousin Brian is getting married this weekend. I can’t decide which dress to wear to the rehearsal dinner and which one to wear to the wedding. I want to wear a Mint dress to one and an ellen&ollie to the other. The dress I am wearing in the pictures is the Mint dress I am going to wear. It’s my favorite Mint dress. I want my grandmother and aunts to see it. The two girls on the right in the middle picture were my first ellen&ollie customers!
I made these dresses for the girl I order the majority of my fabric from. I have been ordering fabric from fabricworm since before I was making dresses. The fabric I used for my very first dress came for fabricworm. I was honored when she asked me to make dresses for her to wear to the Quilt Market. I was so excited to work with the Japanese fabrics she picked out! I had enough of the strawberry fabric left over to make her a skirt!
I do not know where to begin with this blog post. When I met Jodi Arnold last week she offered to help me out in any way she could. I was very surprised with how nice she was. I never imagined someone in her position wanting to help someone like me. She is so busy, how could she even think about helping me? I met with her again Thursday and she said I could come up for a week and stay with her!! I couldn’t believe she was going to let me stay with her. She said I could go to work with her everyday and see everything that goes on. I was freaking out so excited all weekend. I emailed her Monday to see when I could come, because I was so anxious to go and see everything. I was planning to go for a week after my trunk show on the 21st. THEN she emailed me Tuesday and asked me to be a design intern!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe this is happening!! I’m leaving right after the trunk show!
My dad loves musicals, so this weekend we all went to Charlotte to see A Chorus Line. My mom, Laura Lee and I all wore ellen&ollie. We had great seats and the cast was amazing. I can’t wait for South Pacific!
Last night was so fun. Jodi Arnold was really really nice! I can’t believe how down to earth she is. She was so easy to talk to. I wasn’t even nervous talking to her. I am glad Emily was there though! These are a few pictures of Emily and I with Jodi Arnold!
