I love making period costumes and I was happy with the opportunity to make the Victorian costume for Caroline Chisholm in the acclaimed television series Australia: The Story of Us. See the costume in action here and also get to know a little more about Caroline Chisholm, a remarkable and inspiring woman.

It was a great honour to be involved in the launch of Paspaley’s Crown Melbourne boutique.

I was commissioned to create costumes and a textile print that reflected the new boutique’s luminous pearl stand facade.

The pearl stand artwork was digitally printed onto silk duchess satin and made into full skirts with a silk organza overlay.

Stephanie Powell from Home Beautiful commissioned me to make a silk organza slip cover for the chair in the top image,  and add a bustle to the mannequin that I upholster for EDIT.  The resulting shoot is dreamy and romantic and it was really great to involved!

Costumes for Belle magazines cloth shoot with David Novak Piper. Some aspects were made prior to the shoot such as the jacket and the boned bodice but the rest I draped on the models on the shoot day. Magical day being surrounded by the gorgeous patterned and opulent fabrics and all those gorgeous flowers, especially the flower wall.
