Ms. Wintour's Assistant

My little girl isn't so little anymore. But she's still adorable, and thankfully, as sweet she always was.


A quick photo shoot before the sunset. She loves the whole shebang and so do I. It was also fun to make and not too much work. Not that I'm promising her another suit in the near future!




I'm back to the Balmain! Finished the front trim the day before yesterday and the shell was put together today. It's getting colder so I'm eager to get it done, can probably wear it to one of the functions at the theater, maybe even the opening but I'm not sure. It will look best with a pair of bleached jeans like they showed on the runway. Jeans and opening?? Like I said, not sure.

  2. How did you get daughter into such a sophistocated suit?! She looks absolutely beautiful. Great workmanship. How is that Balmain going...we are all dying with expectation to see it.

  9. Wow, wow, wow! Your daughter looks beautiful and the suit is faboulous.

    Will she get a chance to wear it? I guess that is the advantage not living in Scandinavia where all people dress so casually. Even the preppiest of teenagers in Denmark would never wear a suit like that.

  14. Adorable, and your daughter too! I'll show this to Annie as soon as she gets home from school. It's very Blair Waldorf. I can see girls at Annie's school wearing this outfit—they like to get dressed up. (The boys never.)

  16. That is effing A-MAZING and GORGEOUS. Geez, I am so jealous of your daughter. Often I see things on sewing blogs that I like but are not necessarily for me. That is for me!!!! Beautiful job!!!!

  25. Wow! Gorgeous suit. I will not show this to my dd, as she will be annoyed that I haven't finished her suit yet! Your dd is beautiful and quite the model.
