Conversation with the Dress Lady

So, I found the country dresses below on this woman's blog:  http://glamspoon.typepad.com/ and started communicating with her to see where I could find her dresses or something similar, cause when I saw them, I thought she was really on to something.  She's willing to make us some custom dresses!  I just like her energy! This is our conversation:

Me:

Hi! I just found a collage of four beautiful dresses on your blog, the "Country Dress" collection. Looks like you posted this about a year ago, so I'm assuming they're no longer available, but I'm looking for something just like this for my friend's country fair-themed wedding. Any hints on where I could find something like this between Seattle and Portland? Thank you, thank you!!

Hi there!

I make those country dresses every year, and I might have a few left from last season. What size are you? I'll take a look... I'll also be getting ready to make up some spring/summer items in April. Well, first when is the wedding?


You might also take a peek at Frock Shop, Suzy carries lots of great dress options. www.shopfrockshop.com
I know Portland has great shops on NE Alberta - last time I was there a few great shops right in a row.

That is wonderful! Thank you! The wedding is actually not until September of 2011. It's our best friend so the other bridesmaid and I are just so giddy we can't wait and we've started looking for dresses already! How do your sizes run? I am about a size 6 and the other girl is kind of a small-ish 10. We would love to see the new dresses when they come out! Do you sell them on etsy? Your blog said you sold them last year at bouncing wall, and I live in Seattle, so it would be great to see them in person and try them on! I'll follow your blog, I assume you'll post something when the new collection comes out? Also, if I was unable to get one, is there any chance you'd be willing to make a custom order for us for an extra charge?

Oh Sarah, you're a dream client! Lots of time, tiny little figures to dress... I'd love to make something custom for the two of you. I will, however, keep you posted on new items as they become available.

Do you have a color scheme in mind or is it totally open right now? How about style: thin straps, cap sleeves, halter, knee-length...

Thanks so much for getting in touch with me. Now I'm really looking forward to spring. :)

  1. This is Beautiful! Sarah - You're quiet the networker. Do we have a color scheme? Think sunflowers.
