Tomorrow I am going to go to the tailor to get fitted for three custom-made pieces I ordered on Friday! I am in hog heaven so I have to share this where it will be truly appreciated! The place wasn't quite *cheap* but it was reasonably priced. I ordered a white linen button down shirt, a black raw silk shift dress, and a navy linen dress I kind of invented, inspired by this dress Maria Bello wore to the Golden Globes a few years back:
Mine is obviously not an evening gown, but the top portion will be very similar, and the bottom portion will be a kind of "pouf" skirt hitting right below the knee that is so trendy right now, with the cute side pockets you see in the pic.
