Testimonials

Marianne's designs are just amazing, and of superior quality. I purchased my godson's christening gown from her, and then wanted to re-use pieces of the outfit for my goddaughter's christening. She came up with several amazing options for me and turned everything around to me with plenty of time to spare. She will also do embroidery for initials inside the gowns, and do the preservation work. Her craftsmanship has made two very special moments in my life extra-special with her creations.

Silk Dupione

Dupione silk is an elegant, high-end fabric with a gorgeous texture and sheen. In comparison to other fabrics, silk is considered to be the most luxurious and regal looking. Most expensive of all available fabrics, this 100% silk is imported from India or China. Recommended: dry clean only.

Shantung

This polyester fabric was created to mimic the look of silk and is a popular alternative for a pure white color, since silk is more ivory in color. It washes easily and is wrinkle resistant.

Imperial Batiste

Cotton/polyester blend - Lightweight batiste that is wrinkle resistant and easily washed. Ideal for christening slips and accessories.

Irish Linen

100% linen - "Belfast's Best" - Imported directly from Ireland, highest quality pure authentic linen has a gorgeous finish in a soft white color. Dry clean only.

Cotton Sateen

This special weave has a very smooth finish on one side; kind of a silky sheen and luster to normally dull cotton. It is finely woven with a silky drape. It is a great hybrid of cotton and silk, incorporating the breathability and moisture-wicking properties of cotton with the sheen of silk. Care Instructions: Machine wash gentle, tumble dry low.

Satin Charmeuse

Charmeuse is a lightweight polyester fabric woven with a satin weave. The front side of the fabric has a shiny satin finish - lustrous and reflective - whereas the back has a dull finish. Polyester charmeuse can often withstand machine washing, but it does not breathe as well as silk. Charmeuse differs from plain satin in that charmeuse is softer and lighter in weight.
