Original Custom Design

EssenciallyYou custom clothing design is all about creating designs that make you feel connected to your Essential Self. These garments, created for special occasions, or just because YOU are special, are based on the fabrics and styles that work best for you, look best on you, and make you feel awesome.

What is your favorite Essence feeling? Glamourous, beautiful, powerful, snuggly, casual, formal, professional, spiritual, colorful, earthy, grounded, rich, regal, sporty, sexy, frisky, frivolous, playful, rompous, spacious, grand, gorgeous, svelte, mysterious, daring, suave . . ., imagine how you want to feel in your clothes!

From our first creative design meeting, to our journey to the fabric store; from patterns and fittings to your completed original creation, this can be the beginning of an exciting rapport with your clothes! To read more about my essential design process, go to Design Process.

Favorite Clothing Reproductions

Do you have clothes in your closet that you have loved til they're threadbare? That is a good sign that it is essence clothing for you. I can create reproductions of your favorite designs and styles, so you can continue to enjoy them as long as you like. In the process, I can incorporate any changes you might like in sizing, tailoring or decoration.

Commercial Patterns

Perhaps there is a pattern already in existence from Simplicity to Vogue. Perhaps you have fabric already waiting for your attention. I will go with you to shop for exactly the right combination for your needs. Then, after just a fitting or two, you will be wearing your essence outfit in style.

Restyle Creations

Last summer, a woman came to me with a favorite dress, irreparably stained with coffee. She loved it so much that she did not want to let it go. In no time, I took the patterned fabric from the hem of the dress, stitched it around the waist, and created a 'brand new' blouse for her. Do you have favorite garments that could be wearable again for you with just a bit of creative restyling? EssenciallyYou can make your wishes come true.

Alterations

As often as not, a favorite garment can be wearable again with just a small repair, a new hem, or a little re-sizing. Many times, people find absolute treasures that just need some creative attention to make them fit their bodies perfectly. If you feel this way about a piece of clothing, bring it to me, and allow me to work my magic. At EssenciallyYou, a favorite garment is an essence garment, and I can help you wear it to your best advantage.

Interior Design

Any room in your home or office can be transformed by creative attention to your essence colors and designs. I can create custom draperies, decorative table cloths, pillows and lap quilts for just the right accent. I will come to your home or office and co-create your essential space with you.
