KhuKhuZ Blog: February 2013

Just looking back to what we did in 2012 that we didn't share with you....oh yeah I designed and made a dress for my sister. It was for their thanks giving celebration which they entitled Izo and Manana Tshoagong's 120 thanks giving ceremony. This is how they figured out the 120 years - they were both celebrating their 50th birthdays, that's 50 +50 = 100 and 20 years in matrimony, that's a good 100+20 = 120. That's very cook and well thought throw don't you think?

Any then came the part of designing the wedding gown which I was assigned to do but hei the fear of not getting it right engulfed me as previously explained this was a very very special occasion... By the way she was in Botswana and there was never ever going to be any fitting done, but it had to fit her right when it was eventually finished to a very high standard.

This is how I worked it out with my Bespoke service.

I sent her a form with requirement for all her body measurements and illustrations of where and how to take them.
We discussed the design she wanted which took us almost 4 weeks as she was very indecisive.
Worked on the type of fabrics that suited the style and occasion theme.

Below are the images of different design development on this project, the finished dress & unique timeless cake to top up the ceremony..
