Gretchen and Adam's Wedding - March 20th, 2011

It is always exciting to have the opportunity to help out friends of mine. When Gretchen and Adam set their wedding date, I knew this would be a fabulous wedding. The couple are both very hands on people and Gretchen is a highly talented make up artist. She spent a lot of time working on the small details of her wedding and the turn out was amazing.

Their wedding was 40's themed and Gretchen came to me with a beautiful beaded second hand sheath dress she had held on to for years. She wanted to give it an extra punch and wanted it to be full length and have lots of drama at the bottom. We went to the fabric store together and choose atleast 6 different fabrics that picked up all the tan and off white coloring of the beading in the dress. Each fabric was a different weight, sheerness, and texture to give a very ornate unique look. The end product was the PERFECT dress for Gretchen. She paired it with an amazing handmade hair piece and some shoes that she decorated with little flowers to match.

Congrats Gretchen and Adam!!!

North Atlanta Flickr Shoot

I had the opportunity to model a few RCB garments in a recent photography meeting by the North Atlanta Flickr. There were around 20 photographers there - 12 were actually shooting. I wore my personal trashed wedding dress for 2 sets then changed into a pin-up styled outfit with a custom Rock Cherry Bomb re-created band t-shirt. I have only seen a few photos soo far but here they are...

New Etsy Feauture!

This morning I woke up to see that we were included in yet another Etsy Treasury! This one is titled Tricks of the trade - How to build your wardrobe - part 7. The garment featured was the off the sholder polka dot sleeved star applique shirt. I am currently in the process of making a custom version of this shirt, but instead of the black background polka dot we are using white background polka dot. Please contact us for availability in other sizes or colors.

RCB Custom Shirt Featured on Red Hot Locks Sports Report

RCB Fashion had the honor of re-making several sports related t shirts for Kimberly Sargent. Kim does a lot of sports promotion at live events and on the web but wanted a more girly sexy t shirt look. She contacted RCB Fashion and we fixed her right up! If you watch the video below the first host is Kim wearing a black and white re-created t-shirt. We hope to do lots more work with her in the future.

RCB Fashion Custom Halloween Costume Re-used

RCB Fashion was contacted by a client to make his Halloween costume last year. The request was to make the striped circus suit that is featured in Seether's music video for their song Remedy. It took a lot of patience watching the video over and over to see all the details - of course no photos were to be found of this suit! A fun fact to making this outfit is it had to look dirty, used, worn, and old. After asking permission from my client, free reign was given to dirty up the fabric (the photo above was Nancy helping with this process). The entire costume from concept to completion was done purely via the internet and mail. When the costume was complete it was shipped out and delivered to the happy Craig Gum. He said he wore the outfit all day when he got it!

To wrap things up. We never got see photos of HIM wearing the costume, but seeing as he is an inventive photographer he found a way to get great use out of the crazy striped suit. The picture says a thousand words - GOOD JOB Craig!

Miss Teen Georgia

It has been a while since we have had time to blog! There have been many new and exciting projects going on, but very little time to share.

Back in November, we were contacted to make a shirt and do some alterations for a contestant and family friend of mine, Lou Jane, for Miss Teen Georgia! I was very excited to jump on board for this project.

The girls competing in the pageant have very strict requirements for what they can or cannot wear for certain parts of the show. There was a dance routine that required a yellow shirt that was unique to the contestants personality. Lou Jane couldn't find anything in stores, so that is where RCB Fashion came in. She came up with a design and we executed it. Below is a photo from the outfit she wore for the dance routine.
The pagent took place in Canton, GA November 12-14. RCB Fashion was in attendance to support and see Lou Jane compete. Although I am sad to say that she did not win, she had a great experience and looked great! There are already plans for next year, so maybe we will get to make her gown!!!

Great Job Lou Jane!!!!
