Fit and flare floor length dress with multi-strap back detail.
The smile on a client’s face says it all. I can always tell when a client is satisfied with the results of their dress order by the look on their face when they do their last fitting.
Most times a client comes to me with a picture or pictures of what they would like their dress to look like. For the client in the picture above, I picked a couple of elements from pictures that she had sent to come up with two designs from which I asked her to pick one. She ended up loving both of them so I combined the design further to come up with what she wore as a maid of honor.
One of the challenge that I get during fittings is convincing the client that the unfinished garment that is pinned and tucked here and there will end up looking awesome.
The other challenge is trying to convince someone that the design they saw in a picture may not work for them without being insulting. Best way to do it is to encourage the client to highlight their best features or show them designs that work for their body shapes. For now, follow the link for details on how to dress your body shape. I will definitely be writing about that soonest.
Till my next challenge….I’m out.
