As a graduate of Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, PA, I earned my BFA in Fashion Design and went off to work in New York City. I spent many years designing for companies like Macy's and David's Bridal using my illustration skills to sketch new designs season after season.
Great designers like Vera Wang, Melissa Sweet and Monique Lhuillier have been giving sketches to their celebrity brides for years. Why not feel alittle like a celebrity too!
******* Please note it can take about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks to get a sketch done and in the mail, so if you are getting this as a gift please allow me and yourself enough lead time.**********

What I need from you:
Detail pictures of your dress. E-mail me (mhveils@yahoo.com) a picture of you in it, magazine clippings, designer website or even your wedding website address if you have one.)
-Tell me what to focus on. If the back of the dress is the detail you fell in love with I can highlight that feature instead of the front view.
What you will recieve from me:
- A 11" x 14" (size limitations due to shipping envelope size) stylized sketch of your gown on acid free heavy weight Bristol paper. I interpret it as my eyes see it. I can not give you an exact replica.
- It will be sketched in black pen. White or ivory dress color and I can add a hint of color if your dress design includes such an element.
-I can add names and wedding date. Please make sure your spelling is correct, I can not be responsible for incorrect spelling. Shoes and bouquet can also be included (No extra charge).
-Your sketch will be presented in a black folder with a template for you to cut swatches to include with your sketch. If you have any left over fabric from alterations, swatches add a great finishing touch.(See pictures and of course this is optional.)
