Whether your dress is store bought or custom made, you and your dress will be the centerpiece of your festive day.  Christine is available to embroider a dress which is purchased off the rack, with beading highlighting your lace inserts, or embroidering distinct parts onto the dress.  With details such as hand-beading, custom embroidery and rauching, your dress can be either a fairy tale come true or an elegant ensemble to wear again and again.

With custom matching of colors, Christine can also harmonize your dress to match the selected colors of your event, no matter what the occasion.  Christine can even embroider a small area of each dress to accommodate the budget-minded, so that your dress stands out as a spectacular reminder of your unforgettable day.

Additional embellishments are available as a separate item, to be purchased for direct application onto your gown by you or Christine.  She is available to create a custom embellishment and send it to you, so your dress never leaves your home!
