I officially registered my business in June 1988, and I chose today as the specific day( Happy TAV Creations DayπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚). These dresses were made during the gestation period- while I was still in high school - spring 1985 and 1986!

#memoryLane #bridesmaidDress I made for a large bridal party- this one was my favourite of the group. The printed #chiffon fell so beautifully and the client was a dream!
Not your average bridesmaid dress for sure so kudos to the bride- all of her ladies had a pewter, silver colour scheme and their own designs.

The Blue #Satin #jacket was made from a narrow strapped bridesmaid dress.

The under blouse is sleeveless with a high collar and lace ruffle made from #offcuts from previous projects.
The Ivory #peauDeSoie skirt is made from disassembling a former wedding dress.
The hat is made with a #buckrum base, wired edge and covered with remnant pieces from all three garments, embellishments in fabric roses. #millinery #madHatter
