Sundress Summer Resort Collection

Oh La La Sundress

I really love this new halter we have been working. This was originally designed for my cousin who was watching a very favorite show of mine and wanted a similar dress that she had seen a character wearing.  Deb went right to work making a pattern and here we are with her finished product. 

Of course we will be making these for the Summer Resort line which is set to launch at the end of July with our website. See our coming soon page with links to the official blog and our Facebook. 

I love blogging, probably because I used to keep a very updated journal all through school. It was amazing what I look back on and see what I loved to do and who I loved to love. But, now in the age of no time and no sleep as I work towards my dream as a designer I find I have little time for a diary. Which is why I feel like I love blogging so much. As I struggle through the ins and outs of learning to design for a living and working hard to create a line I see that blogging is a way of helping me express my struggles as well as my triumphs. 

Thanks for listening and thanks for the support. As I go on this journey I realize that not everyone will take it serious, not everyone will believe in me. And not everyone will support me. But for those who do, I want to say thank you. It's amazing to know that people see your dream and believe in you. 

Until next time, I'm designer dreaming. <3

Peek at our New Wrap Dress Summer '12

There is no reason to hide everything...working on the summer line is really amazing and I cannot believe we are keeping so much quite until the website launches. But it is just over a mere month away so I can wait...for most of it. Here a sneak peek at our summer wrap design. 

Love those wrap dresses.

Until next time I can't wait to show you something...I'm designer dreaming.

Spring '12 Tunics

I am really excited to show you the rest of the prints that are available. I really love this pattern and in the right sheer colors its just beautiful and flattering. For a long time I thought tunics didn't have enough shape but with our waist band the hourglass is back!

Lime Tunic

Blue Polka Dot

Snake Skin

White Line

Cheetah Print

These will all be showing at the SUNY Cortland Fashion Show Saturday April 14th. I'm so excited to debut these designs. I think that they really do justice to the whole collection. I'll be posting other pieces this week that we will be showing. Stay tuned for our halter crop top and the full length dresses!

Until then, I'm designer dreaming.

Spring Line Preview

Here is the beginning of the Spring Preview for everyone. We spent the last few month fixing up this great line up of patterns and prints. Of course we cannot show you too much because in just over a week we will be showing the whole line at a fashion show. This year I'm hoping for video to post so you can see but if not then just pictures will have to do. First is our Steamlined Strapless that has Barbie and a few other colors to play with this spring.
Also, our take on the Classic Swing Dress with Sash to really give these pretty dresses a punch.
And of course, the Tunic. I am so excited for the beautiful flowey pieces, they are going to make the best additions to your summer wardrobe. Even though I am saving a lot of pieces for the fashion show, I will be showing you the additional prints in these next week. Plus, some candid photos from out mad race to the finish on the Spring '12 line.

I AM SOOOOOOO EXCITED. Plus...we have these beautiful new mannequins to decorate out store window and boutique with. Of course soon we will have our normal photography mannequins in for photos to go on the website. But I just had to use these this time cause they are so simple and rustic to me.

Next in, Full Lighting Kit to take better photos for when our online site launches. This month is huge and I can't wait to share it with you.

Until then, I'm Designer Dreaming! <3

Our Facebook Fashion Banner

Why did we use this fashion banner for our new Facebook Page? Well let's see...It's totally a students runway show and I really love it. Thats what We are going for this spring. Wait till you see all the new Spring 2012 designs for Rum and Couture!

Keeping you posted on the new line! Check Back soon!

Until then, I'm designer dreaming!

Elastic Waist Skirts the first round!

The beginning of the new elastic waist skirt.

Start the skirt by attaching it the waist band. So excited because this material is super soft and slinky. Veeerrrryyyy comfortable.

One of the skirts before hemming. Yea, its a nuns length right now.

And here is the finished product in store.

This skirt sits at the waist line but because it is elastic you can pull in down or up depending on the way you want to wear.

I sourced a deep blue and a cream color one! I'm so excited to get working on that color scheme and get it in for the holiday! Pairing a cream skirt with a red top will make you look amazing at whatever events you will be attending...but of course that is for a upcoming how to wear it. Until then....

I'm designer dreaming! <3
