Did this really happen?  It seems like a blur.  It was only the a few short weeks ago that Monica had asked me if I were willing to make a showpiece dress for her exhibit at New Jersey Fashion Week.  Was I willing? I was so honored she asked me!!!

She showed me a picture of a beautiful skirt. Very couture inspired. I was up to the challenge. I had three weeks to get it all done. Using the picture as a jump off point, our bigger idea was to make this gown adjustable so that many models of all sizes could wear it. It will be the beginning of our "Dream Couture Photo Series."

I was swimming in tulle for a couple of weeks...as well as self doubt.

​What was I thinking when I said I would do it? Did I take on too much? Despite my own self sabotage, I was truly enjoying the process. Learning every step of the way.


Lo and behold, New Jersey Fashion Week was upon us. Anyone who walks by the booth will see my gown. Oh the butterflies! So many wonderful comments. So affirming. What a wonderful experience! I have included a slide show below.

Many heartfelt thanks go out to Monica Hahn Photography for her undying faith in my creativity, her go get 'em attitude and spirit. Contact her to be able to wear this one of a kind gown and have your own Dream Couture Photo Shoot!

Dreams do come true, and it happens at the most unexpected times of our lives! It was such a huge honor that the dress you created was one of the few dresses that were worn by a model during New Jersey fashion week. Of course, your happiness couldn't be contained. If I was also given the same privilege, I would definitely feel the same thing! You should not get too overwhelmed, this is just the start! Bigger projects are just about to come, so it would be better to prepare!

I love the idea of creating an adjustable gown that allows models of all sizes to wear it.

By using such taxis, families can reduce travel stress, avoid potential fines, and maintain a higher standard of child safety. The combination of professional service and safety-focused vehicles makes these taxis an increasingly popular choice among Melbourne families.

While emasculators are effective tools for livestock management, ethical considerations must guide their use. Minimizing pain, stress, and trauma during castration is a primary concern. Using anesthesia or pain relief when necessary aligns with best veterinary practices and animal welfare standards.

A 2cm diameter in ring size refers to a ring that measures 20 millimeters straight across the inside of the band. This measurement is taken from one inner edge to the other, passing through the center.

Businesses, educators, content creators, and service providers can all leverage this phrase to encourage prompt responses from their audiences. However, success depends on context, relevance, and honesty in messaging. By aligning “visit now” with genuine value and clear benefits, organizations can transform a simple two-word phrase into a powerful driver of growth and engagement.

In addition to their practical benefits, undershirts contribute to personal confidence and overall presentation. Knowing that your outer clothing is protected from sweat marks and wrinkles allows you to focus on your daily activities without distraction.

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.
