Tying the Knot

So I've decided to make a leap and advertise in the "The Knot"! It's an online wedding website geared to brides and everything they could possibly need for their special day. My ad goes "live" on December 25th! I thought I'd broaden my advertising base and reach specifically to the bridal market. No doubt I have had success with people seeing my blog, facebook page and my website, but thought I'd try this for a short term, low cost commitment. Wish me luck!

It's prom and bridal season!

Pink - Jr prom- hem only, White - Jr prom - remove wide strap, Blue - for a wedding - shortened to knee length.

Red Carpet request

I was pleasantly surprised today when I got an email request to make a prom gown. Date: May 18th. I looked at our high school calendar, and our Junior prom is that date, so I assumed it was a Melrose girl contacting me. Of course I thought of all the work I would be getting as a result of this, not only for this year's junior prom, but next year's senior prom! We exchanged several emails about price, style, and she sent me a picture. It was a picture of Kelly Osborne on the Red Carpet in an Amazing Mermaid style black gown, with lots of layers at the bottom .Absolutely stunning. I was very excited about this request! I did tell her I would have to price it as a bridesmaid dress (about $200 higher than a prom gown) because of the detailed style, and she still wanted to proceed (of course, the entire time I'm wondering if she had consulted her mother at all!). On that last email I sent her a link to my webpage which lists my prices......then she sent me an email saying she just realized that I am located in MA....and she is in Texas! Oh my, that presents a problem. I emailed her back with some suggestions on how we could work this out, but am skeptical because I would not be able to do a final fitting on her and I would hate for her to have to receive the dress in the mail, only to have someone else do the final fitting. I don't think we will proceed, but it sure was exciting negotiating and possibly getting to work on such an elaborate prom gown!
