Everyday solutions. Mindennapos megoldasok.

                                        Everyday solutions.



Making your wardrobe versatile so you can adapt a piece to be worn in the middle of the day, late afternoon and evening. is how you, and everyone else can cut corners, and re-use the pieces you have. Now, you have  variety, and something different for every time of the day.  I made this outfit, and was able to use the skirt more then one time, by making  two different  tops from the same fabric to mach the skirt.  
Mixing  and matching  colors, &  fabrics,  as well as an assortment of different necklines, can give you a unique look each time you dress. It is so easy.  The first has a beaded neckline with shear sleeves for an evening occasion, and the second, a low cut v shaped neckline for a daytime look.    


Mindennnapos megoldasok.

    Hogy cserelheto es felhasznalhato legyen ruhadarabjaink a nap minden orajaban, napkozben, kora delutan, es este is, figyelembe kell vennunk a stilusokat, anyagok varialasi lehetoseget . Itt mutatok egy lehetoseget ezzel a darabbal.  Mikor ezt a ruhat terveztem, ket felsot is keszitettem hozza. Az egyik alkalmi hasznalatra atlatszo ujjal es gyongyozott nyakresszel, majd a mindennapos valrozatara csak egyszeru sima v nyakat vagtam neki a kivul aljas bluzhoz.

Spring. Tavasz.

                                                Spring.

Every year we look forward to new and more exciting styles when the spring arrives. Think of your dress as an accent and the personality of a day. When we talk about colors and prints sometimes the color comes first, sometimes the prints dictate the palette. In this dress these colors are dark, strong and definitely make a statement. This year we are seeing  a combination of styles, that come in an inventive list of variations,  pleated, a-lined, strait with a kick pleat, tulip-shaped, long and  short ........................Sometimes it is better to choose clothing that fits your body shape rather than trying to wear the most recent styles..

            Tavasz.



 Minden evben varunk valami uj es jobb divatot a tavasz kozeledtevel.
Gondolj arra hogy a ruha hangsulyt, es szemelyiseget ad a napjaidnak. Amikor szinekrol es mintazatrol beszelunk, neha a szin jon eloterbe, neha meg a minta hatarozza meg a palettat.

Ezen a ruhan a szinek eleg  sotetek ami feltetlen  felhivja magara a figyelmet. Ebben az evben nagyon sok stilus kombinacio jelenik meg, kulombozo variaciokkal. Rakott, a-vonalu, egyenes, hatul slicces, tulipanforma, hosszu, rovid........................ De neha jobb figyelembe venni, hogy mi all jol az alakunkon, es nem azt hasznalni ami a legujabb divat.

Bridesmaids. Koszoruslanyok.

                                 

                                   Bridesmaids.

 


Creating custom coordinated weddings and celebrations throughout the tri-state and Metropolitan N.Y. areas, is in big fashion now.
Girls are getting back to tradition with their  gowns, but the bridesmaids are a different stories. They are getting a little bored with the existing look, and they realize there are other ways to be classic. Black is one of the alternatives. Blends of fabrics can create a dramatic look.

Pink dresses. Rozsaszinu ruhak.

Pink dresses.

Most  girls going to a  prom, would like to look like one of there favorite movie stars; so they spend many  hours choosing the right dress. They believe that the secret to looking beautiful is to follow the fashion industry. The key to looking fabulous is to understand color combinations and shades and how they can best  accentuate your skin tone.  Lighter shades go perfectly with darker skin tones, but dark color adds drama to the pale skin. Don't over accessorize. Select a shoe with a heel size that is appropriate and that you feel comfortable walking in.  Short is in this year, and pink seems to be the color of choice. I have altered quite a few of these already this year. Here are some pictures I worked on within the last week or so.






Rozsaszinu ruhak.






 
Legtobb lany amikor a bali szezonra keszulodnek, szeretnenek ugy kinezni, mint az egyik kedvenc sztarjuk. Igy hosszu orakat toltenek a ruha vasarlasara. Hogy csinosan nezzunk ki, annak titka, hogy kovetni kell a divatot. Rengeteg fazont latunk vilagos es sotetebb szinosszeallitasban. De azert vigyazzunk a szinekkel.. Vilagosabb arnyalatok nagyon jol neznek ki a sotetebb bor mellett, es a sotetebb szinek, gyonyoruen kiemelik a  vilagos, halovany bort. Ne tegyunk tul sok ekszert! Hasznaljunk  megfelelo magas sarku cipot, es tanuljunk meg bennuk jarni. Nagyon sok rovid ruha erkezett  alakitas celjaval kis uzletembe ebben az evben. Valami megmagyarazhatatlan okbol kifolyolag  rozsaszin a kedvenc. Mutatok egy par kepet a ruhakrol amiken dolgoztam az elmult hetek folyaman.

Wedding gowns.


                                           






  
When you go shopping for the most important dress in your life, you have to go to Chamonix, in Rhinebeck.
It is very important to find the right dress, because it will be the first day of your new life and you want everything to be just perfect. This store will help you achieve your goals. Remember, looking elegant is never overstated, but rather creating a simple beautiful image.
Here they can help you with the appropriate style and at the right price at the same time! They carry one of a kind pieces, designer samples, and will special order as well..
This dress I worked on last week is a wonderful show piece. The clean, long lines gives additional  height, and the open neckline draws the eye to the brides face . The back of the dress is laced and is finished off by a beaded lacy train..

Changing styles, Stilus valtoztatas



Changing styles.

I been working with a store called CHAMONIX in Rhinebeck, New York. It is a cute little boutique , which specializes in bridal gowns but also offers, Communion, prom, mother of the bride, and bridesmaid dresses. It's a fairly new store, but is gaining popularity very quickly in this quaint little town. You are met with a warm welcome and will be given long forgotten personalized customer service.

Prom season is drawing near. Many mothers are facing the dilemma of spending money on a new dress or just letting their daughters wear a dress they already have. Most often the dress in their closet has only been worn once, but the style is not the most flattering. You don't believe me? Just ask any girl, they'll tell you!! :)))        
So ............let's go shopping.
This is what happened the first time I saw this dress. A mother and daughter were looking for something special to wear, for her upcoming winter ball at her college. The dance was on ice, and they found a little number in the perfect color. She loved the dress, it fit her perfectly, but the floor length wasn't to her liking. I got the scissor out, shortened it, played around with it, and created a little bubble on the hemline, which made it flirty and very fresh looking.


If you want to browse the inventory at Chamonix, you can visit their website at:  wwwchamonixbride.com


Stilus valtoztatas.

Az utobbi idoben dolgozok egy uzlettel egyetemben, a nevuk CHAMONIX, ami New York , Rhinebeck negyeben van. Aranyos kis uzlet, nagyreszeben menyasszonyi ruhakat arulnak, de megtalalhatsz keresztelo, balozo, anyaknak, es koszoruslanyoknak valo ruhakat is. Elegge uj uzlet, de az ismeretsege novekszik naprol napra, ebben a eldugott kis varoskaban. Itt megtalalhatod a kellemes fogadtatast, es a regen elfelejtett szemelyes kuncsaft szolgalatot.
Bali szezon kozeledik most. Sok anyanak az a dilemmaja, hogy koltsenek uj ruhara, vagy a lanyok csak azt a ruhat hasznaljak ami mar eddig is meg volt. Ezeknek a ruhaknak legtobbje csak egyszer volt hasznalva, de a stilusuk nem tul elonyos. Nem hisztek nekem? Csak kerdezzetek meg akarmelyik lanyt, Ok megmondjak! :))
                       Na hat ...........akkor menjunk vasarolni.
Ez tortent amikot legeloszor lattam ezt a ruhat. Az anya es lanya nezelodtek, kerestek valami kulonleges ruhat a lanynak a foiskolai teli balra. A tancot jegen rendeztek meg, es ahhoz kellett egy szinben hozza illo darab, amit meg is talaltak. Nagyon tetszett nekik a ruha, de a hossza nem eppen az izlesnek megfelelo volt. Igy elovettem  az ollot, megroviditettem, es krealtam egy buborekot a szknya aljara ami pajkossa es frisse alakitotta azt.

Favorites, Kedvencek,

Favorites.

A couple of weeks ago, one of my customers brought a dress back to me and she called it, "my used to be favorite thing in the whole world". Maybe the reason for that was because she wore this dress for her only daughter's wedding . The day was very special and she was so excited, to see her daughter walking down the isle . We fit the dress perfectly and the evening turned out to be happy and wonderful !
Now after the years have passed, it's time to alter the dress again! Fortunately there was an allowance in the seams, which let us work around the skirt, and the bustier. The ruffles and the beads on top, gave me a little bit of trouble, but I tamed them in the end!
The dress fits again, and while she cannot say this is my most favorite thing in the whole world, it could be a favorite dress, since her little granddaughters eye color matches it exactly.


Kedvencek.

Egy par hettel ezelott egy kuncsaftom visszahozott egy ruhat, es ugy nevezte meg, hogy "ez volt a legkedvesebb darabom az egesz foldon" Persze ez azert is lehetett, mert az egyetlen lanyanak az eskuvojen viselte. Nagyon szep nap volt, es annyira fel volt dobva, hogy lathatja lanyat lepkedni a templom kovein . Megcsinaltuk a ruhat nagyon jol allt, es azon az esten csak boldogsag es orom volt jelen.
Most miutan elteltek az evek, megint meg kellene alakitani. Szerencsere van eleg varras a ruhaban, igy engedi hogy dolgozzunk a szoknya es a felso reszen ismet. A fodrok es a gyongyok egy kis problamat okoztak, de a vegen megoldottuk azokat is.
A ruha tokeletesen all ismet, de most mar nem tudja azt mondani, hogy ez a kedvenc darabja a vilagon, mert azota van meg egy! Szuletett egy gyonyoru kislany unokaja, akinek a szeme pont olyan szinu, mint Nagymama kedvenc ruhaja...

Old designs , regi tervek




Old designs.

I found these sketches up in the attic, when I was cleaning out and looking for something else. If my memory serves me right I drew these in the late 1980's. Unbelievably right on target, even today. Never had a chance to make them into a reality, but what we say in my home town is, just because its late, does not mean it will pass. :)) So now, I am looking for a suitable fabric for one of the designs, and would like to have some vintage textile to make them from. I will see what I can come up with!


Regi tervek!

Fennt talaltam a padlason ezeket a regi terveket, mikor selejteztem ott, es valami mast kerestem. Ha jol emlekszem ezeket meg az 1980-s evek vege fele rajzoltam. Hihetetlen, hogy meg a mai nap is mennyire divatban vannak. Soha nem volt ra alkalmam, hogy el is keszitsem ezeket, de mint ahogy otthon mondjuk, ami kesik nem mulik! Igy most keresek valami alkalmas regi stilusu anyagot, hogy elkeszitsem az egyik ruhat ezek kozul. Majd meglatjuk mire fogok jutni!

New trend, Uj divat



New trend


Through the years, we are always trying to look for something new in fashion to chase away the old and boring ways. We're starting a new trend in clothing almost every year, and there is not much left to discover. But what about bridal fashion? So here is a big chance to do something absolutely different! Usually the colors are limited to white and off white. Lets see, if the colored wedding gowns will became a fashion staple.
I had the opportunity to work on this dress, and I fell in love with it. The train is wonderfully created and formed, which gives a longer look to the body. The red parts are beaded all the way around and truly this simple dress doesn't need anything more in front, and the back has the biggest surprise of all. The owner of this dress asked me, if we can do something different to create a bustle, other then a traditional up to the waist heavy gathering. So after a while I came up with this solution. The whole bustle sits on 6 buttons, and 6 elastic loops, inside of the dress, which makes it very easy to work with . I think its nice, exiting, different, and exactly what the bride dreamed of! What do you think? Does this dress have a future?


Uj Divat!

Eveken keresztul keressuk az uj divatot hogy el tudjuk uzni a regit es az unottat. Probalunk minden evben valamit ujitani, de nem tul sok a lehetoseg . De mi van a menyasszonyi ruhakkal? Itt lehetnek otletek hogy valami ujjal probalkozzunk! A szinek feher es ecru kozott nem tul nagy a valasztasi lehetoseg. Most azzal probalkozunk, hogy be lehetne e lopni a piacra szines menyasszonyi ruhakat.
Volt lehetosegem, hogy dolgozzak ezen a kulonleges ruhan, es nagyon megtetszett. Az uszalya gyonyoruen van megtervezve, es a kivitelezese hosszitja a testet. A piros reszek gyonygyozve vannak korbe. Ennek az egyebkent egyszeru ruhanak semmi masra nincs szuksege, hiszen a hatulja tartogatja a legnagyobb meglepetest! A ruha tulajdonosa, kerdezte tolem, hogy tudnek e valami ujat kitalalni arra, hogy felrakjuk az uszalyt, a szokasos derekra felhuzott puff helyett? Egy ido utan ezt a megoldast javasoltam amit itt bemutatok. Ezt az egeszet 6 gomb, es 6 gumibol keszult gomblyuk tartja a ruha belsejeben. Nagyon egyszeruen mukodik. Ugy gondolom, hogy mutatos, kulonleges es teljesen olyan mint amirol a menyasszony almodott! Mit gondoltok? Van a ruhanak jovoje?
