Slowly moving into May and the Westcoast is still the Wet-coast. I’m needing summer desperately and soft, floofy and bright tutus are placating this need. This sweet confection of barely there yellow lace and lemon silk heads to Perth in the next few days, along with a smokey persimmon using my favourite Italian net, soft English tulle and floral silk that has traveled with me during an adventure to find its rightful owner.

Teaching is now almost at a close with two more group classes. I have so enjoyed sharing my methodology with other students these past few months and so look forward to continue doing with a new to tutu maker and delving even deeper with returning students too. Those returning students are diving into pattern drafting which is one of my very favourite things to do!

These last few weeks, my email has been constant with requests for next season – made even busier with a dancer wearing my costume gracing the program cover of the 25th edition of Youth America Grand Prix finals yet again. Of course there is only so much of me to go around so if you are interested in a costume and have made it this far, this is what 2024-25 looks like.

Calendar opens July 1 (or when yagp announces semi final dates)

8 spots for Socal delivery proposed Sept 8-22. Variations due by July 15.

8 spots for Scottsdale delivery proposed for Nov 8-21. Variations due by Sept 15.

2 spots for those travelling to my studio on the Island proposed Dec 17-20. Variations due by Nov 17.

4 spots for Socal 2025 proposed Jan 22- Feb 1. Variations due by Dec 1.

Do remember each costume comes with a partial flight/travel fee costs as well as 1 hotel night charge. So 4 costumes for one family? That means all of these fees X 4. If you are on a tight budget, it may be smart to purchase a ready to wear from my list and hire up your local shopping mall repair person to add the hooks and bars as these are a simple request.

No custom sized mail out costumes unless we have worked together in the past and is subject to my availability. You may request custom designed costumes but these costumes are made to the sizing you choose from a list I provide. There are no fittings and final sale but you do have a change to choose fabrics, nets, skirt lengths, lace and other pretties ❤

It will be a wonderful season ahead as I’ve collected beautiful fabrics based off Bridgerton (some from the same sources the show used), smokey net shades from Italy and the loveliest of laces I’ve taken months to curate. I can’t wait to get to work!
