New Idea's

I'm still working on finishing up the new design and I'll get picture.. Promise!
I have a lot of new and fresh ideas swimming around my head right now,  so I can not wait to try to put them into action..
Tuesdays are always busy around my home and studio so less sewing gets done than on normal days,
Either way, I'm super excited.. I just need a moment to sit down and think.
I recently spoke with a bride who has the most amazing theme for her wedding. Of course, we are incorporating my vintage inspired gowns into her theme, which will go perfectly.

Her wedding looks like it is set back in time. It's BEAUTIFUL.

I've been wanting to try a new version of a marilyn monroe style dress.  Seems simple enough, its a HUGE twirl skirt attached to a fancy halter top.. I need to find a way to make it a tad more modest, since I don't want the huge open back...I would love to add some lace to it as well.. Hmmm..the ideas..the ideas..

What does a designer do when ideas start flowing?  I write about them of course, so I can come back here and find them again incase something happens and I can't get to them immediately.

What kind of ideas would you like to see from the Kalli + Alba girls clothing line?  What about the Bridal Couture line?

Infinity Dresses?  Any like them?  I LOVE THEM and I can not wait to try them out as well!! Fun! Fun! Fun!

I love love love this Emma Style gown with Chocolate and Leopard print Ribbon

Dolly and Me dress. We can coordinate dresses for a 18" doll and your little princess.
This is the"Ariana" style dress with pearl shoulder straps.

New Dress Design

I've been speaking with a few brides who would like to go on the more, non tulle flower girl gown route, so I have designed a new gown which I will post pictures of soon.

This is a simple gown with beautiful lace around the top and bottom and for the shoulder straps. Its not like anything I've ever done before and I'm very happy with it.

I'm currently making one as a "sample" gown, that my daughter will likely where to the father/daughter dance at her school.  I'm very excited to surprise her with it.

:)

Until I can get picture of that gown, Enjoy a few of  these.

Happy Monday

Good Sunday Morning..

Here at Kalli Alba Bridal and Kalli+Alba girls lines, its a cloudy day, but its unseasonably warm outside.
It's the perfect day for your little girl wear one of our apron skirts or ruffled skirts.
Remember, these can be made in any type of fabric combination so it can suit your childs style.

This is one of our newer outfits. A ruffled skirt (comes in just about any color you can think of) with a coordinating shirt! If you'd like to order one, please head over to www.kallialba.com
The complete outfit is $50   The skirt can be made in ANY size from infant to adult sizes.

This apron skirt is usually made with three different fabrics.  However, the littlest boss "Alba" decided on all Elmo.  It has an attached mini apron lined with lace. Usually the skirt portion, the apron and the waist band area are all different fabrics, but this can be made any way you would like. Long or short.

These are Kalli+Alba's super cool double layer twirly skirts.
Made with two coordinating fabrics, its a skirt inside of a skirt, Super modest. Super fun, and Super cute!
Thats what Kalli +Alba and Kalli Alba Bridal Couture are:
Modern. Modest. Unique

Our Bridal Couture is hitting it off already attending to our Spring and Summer Brides! (Oh, and their bridesmaids and Flower Girls)  Remember, We can also do packages which would include the Brides dress, Bridesmaids, and Flower Girl.

I would love to have the opportunity to make a beautiful White or Ivory or Blush pink wedding gown that is very similar to this:

These can be made with a long train or a small train or no train at all. These are high-low dresses. Meaning they open in the front, usually right at the knee or right above(your choice) and then are floor length and longer in the back. These can be made with or without straps. One shoulder straps too. (ANY COLOR) but I think it would look breathtaking in an ivory, white, or classic vintage pink (thats basically a white with a hint of pink)

Don't forget your amazing Bridesmaids that can coordinate! :) They can have any color dress and even a beautiful sash that ties around the waist. These can be strapless, one shoulder or two shoulder straps.
Then of course, NEVER forget the flower girl...

We can even make the top out of the same fabric as the Brides or Bridesmaid dresses (but it would not be a corset top)

Pictures are the "Emma" (halter top vintage lace) and the "Kalli" (Corset top)
and the tulle, of course can be made with any fabric as well.


I also wanted to share a a few more  GORGEOUS images:
