Changes and Direction

Greetings!!!

I am so excited about the direction my  business is now going!

I redid the House of Poleigh Naise Facebook page. Not that there was anything wrong with how it was, other than it had become a page filled with fashion plates and museum gowns, which did little for the promotion of the gowns I make and sell.  Please join me on the new page  https://www.facebook.com/houseofpoleighnaise/

 This fabric is what I am working with right now. Gorgeous, yes? The skirt of the fashion plate is what I am replicating. The bodice will be different as  I am making a Receiving Gown, not a ball gown. Where you see red will be stripe.




Upcoming projects include:


I have been wanting to make up this Butterick pattern, which isn't something I do very often, and when I stumbled across the semi sheer stripe, I knew I was needing to proceed! I'm actually a little late in making a summer gown for those who purchase, but I'm still going to make it, and if it sits unsold for a while, so be it LOL

Then today I saw this fabric which I snagged up in a hurry:

It will be a 1880's bustle gown mixed with pale pink and ivory with pale gold net lace.  I'm still debating the style, but I do not have a shortage of fashion plates to find inspiration from.

Also, I am presently taking special orders for Edwardian skirts, blouse and fabric belt ensembles.  You can check out the post on Facebook ....

Business hours have been set. Business cards ordered. Enthusiasm is at an all time high.

Thank you to all of you who follow me as a historical seamstress, an a huge thank you to all who have purchased from me.  As always, I would love to see you in your gowns and ask that you send me pictures!!  Its a real treat to be able to see such a beautiful final result.

Wishing you a beautiful day!  Best regards to you all.
