gLAM by Adora

About Adora Lam

Picture
Looking back, little did I know that my 7th grade Home Economics class would have started me on this journey to create gLAM. Our assignment was to make a vest. Mine was made of brown corduroy.  Did I just date myself by disclosing the material I used? It was all the rage when I was in 7th grade. It didn't even fit me! Alas, it was too small, so it never saw the light of day. That was probably a good thing. That class, along with my sewing-savvy mother, taught me the basics I needed to eventually start this gLAMorous adventure. 
Fast forward many years later with a husband and 3 kids...my eldest daughter began figure skating at the ripe old age of 6. As her passion for the sport grew, so did the need for more practice dresses. I had the bright idea to start making them myself. This led to the request of a sewing machine as my mother's day gift. It only seems natural after not having sewn anything since the 7th grade, right? Through a lot of trial and error, and I emphasize a lot, I did turn out some cute dresses for her. But there came a point where she no longer needed the dresses so I put my sewing machine away.

Years later, I now find myself in a full circle sort of moment. My 2nd daughter is a serious competitive dancer. I have always altered/enhanced her catalog bought costumes in an effort to make them look unique and one of a kind. Well, this time she and her choreographer jokingly or maybe not so jokingly said, "Why can't you just make her costume this year?" They both go on and on to describe their vision, getting excited with each detail, adding more and more! All the while I was feeling like the little engine that could, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!" And so I did! My daughter and her choreographer loved what I had created. Her costume received rave reviews after her first competition, it's first public appearance.  gLam was born!

Now when I watch my daughter perform her solos, I also intently watch my costume. Does that make me a terrible mother? I can't help it. Those are my babies on stage (my daughter and the costume)! 

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Excellent communications!!!! Pictures does NOT do the justice. It's just wowwww...Beautiful!!! Thank you so much again! My daughter absolutely LOVES it!!!! ~ Nina I.

Amazing!! Making appointment was easy & convenient- choices of fabric were great!! Costume was completed in perfect timing.​~ Michelle M.

Both my daughters had their solo costumes designed and made by Adora for several years. It made the process much less stressful. She worked with the choreographer's vision and the kid's likes/dislikes in designing the costumes. You know there won't be another dancer on stage with your costume! Bonus was in getting a few costume distinction awards over the years. There wasn't the worry that the costume wouldn't fit. She measured the kids and had a fitting in between to make sure everything went on and fit properly. Did I mention the stress-FREE benefit of having Adora design and make the costume?! ~Betty B.

My daughter’s costume was fabulous. Her workmanship is beautiful and fit like a glove. ~ Stephanie R.
