We did it! 2013 Redress Raleigh Eco-Fashion Show

Little Grey Line celebrated its runway debut last night at the Redress Raleigh Eco-Fashion Show! 

Thirteen little models, balloons in hand, walked beautifully to the beat of the music. Some hesitated, some skipped, but they were all amazing and made me so proud.

I will post more pictures and video soon, but wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Redress Raleigh for such an amazing opportunity. What an honor to be among such talented designers. And thank you, as well, to all of the precious models and their families for being a part of such a special night. 

In addition to a more in-depth post about the show, I will be updating my gallery with information and photos of my new dress collection, now available for custom orders.

What a night! Certainly one of the thrills of my life.

This time next week!

It's hard to believe that this time next week Little Grey Line's latest collection will make its way down the runway by way of thirteen adorable little girls.

The past two months since I was chosen as one of the featured designers for the Redress Raleigh Eco-Fashion Show have flown by and I am looking forward to the big day!

All of my dresses are complete and all my fitting have been done. They fit the girls perfectly and likewise match their individual personalities.  Rehearsal is this coming Monday night and I can't wait to see my models all together in their dresses for the first time. 

On Sunday after the fashion show- March 24th- I will be one of the vendors participating in the Redress Marketplace. 

I finalized the design of my booth this weekend and am eager for this event.  I will display my collection from the fashion show the night before and will be taking custom orders. Additionally, I have made accent pillows to sell. Mostly, I am excited to have a chance to talk to people at the event and check out the other vendors as well. 

Come and say hello if you are able! 

Something blue

Tonight I read to my daughter, Adeline, from the book "A Treasury of Dick and Jane and Friends." We came upon this page and it made me think of my upcoming 'blue' collection for the Redress Raleigh Eco-Fashion Show. 

I have made a collection of thirteen girls dresses repurposed from classic, button-down dress shirts. All are different shades of blue with varying textures and patterns. 

"Mother can make something."  Indeed.
