1930's headpieces




Here are some very beautiful headpieces we've been coming across the past few days for inspiration. We're thinking of ways to make our own interesting hair pieces. Anyways, we've been very busy, but soon we'll be designing our second dress. In the meantime, we're practicing some yoga! Oh and we've playing So You Think You Can Dance with Nicholas (Natalia's son). Let us tell you - that game gives you the best workout ;)
Consider buying a Wii for kids, it gets ya moving!

Namaste,
Natalia + Molly

Dress continued... but almost done!




Well, here's another update on our first dress! We've been working on it all day! We also decided to add a hair piece to go with it. We decided on something similar to the 1920's/30's accessories with a net, but I'll save the for another post!



On another note, we'll be featuring Bette Davis on our business cards!


Keep checking back on our blog!

New dress - in the process!







This is our first dress, which we've started working on! It's still got a lot of work, but it's headed in the right direction! It's coming out great. We've been listening on up to some Billie Holiday & Nina Simone tunes, while we work on painting and putting the dress together. Everything is complete hand-work and definitely unique. But, gosh, do we need more space! Enjoy the photos, when this is finished, it'll be posted on etsy.com/shop/athenasgown

All the best,
Natalia & Molly
