Announcement
You may remember that this shop began as an outlet for my jewelry which explains the "open since 2015". Actually I just rebranded it this July, 2020. So, welcome!
All my face masks are 100% cotton, silk or linen. Preshrunk, and washed after completion. I strongly recommend steam ironing to keep them looking crisp and fresh. I try to source the most beautiful (or tastefully whimsical!) fabric on the market. Many are designed by artists, hand printed and produced to order. Everything is limited edition so may not always be available. First come, first served. I have more gorgeous fabrics coming all the time so check back often.
Pleated masks have an adjustable and removable nose piece so the fit is nice and snug. Not reversible but lined with a pretty fabric. I believe the lining should be as pretty as the front.
Any mask can be made in kid sizes. Convo me about what you’re interested in. Or if you think it might need to fit a larger sized face (ie a big, beautiful gal or guy) I can accommodate.
If a face mask can be described as “couture”, these certainly fit the category! You have to wear them, might as well have fun, right?
Just remember — masks are not a substitute for social distancing! You should still maintain a minimum of 6 feet of distance between you and other people when possible, and continue washing your hands and avoiding touching your face. Stay safe!

5 out of 5 starsI recently purchased 4 masks from Beryl, one of which I planned to give as a gift. There was a long delay with the shipping and I feared the package was lost as the tracking info was not helpful. Beryl had sold out of the mask I planned to give as a gift and no longer had the fabric with which to make another, but she went above and beyond expectations to work with me to ensure I was satisfied. In the end, the original package finally arrived and all was well. I LOVE the masks and the friend to whom I gifted a mask was thrilled! The masks are well made comfortable and beautiful. I highly recommend that you give BBMaskCouture a try. I would definitely purchase from her again.

About BBMaskCouture
Rediscovering a Lost Love
I LOVE beautiful fabrics. Sewing pretty face masks has become a pleasurable way to stay creative and positive.
Prior to Covid, I had not sewn ANYTHING since the late 1970’s. I had been a prolific sewing enthusiast through high school and my early 20’s, making my own clothes and sewing for friends. Then, I had to get serious about making a living. Jewelry making, a career as pastry chef and business owner and photography were my life for 40 years.
This past April, the business I work for required us to wear a mask since we were dealing directly with the public. They quite kindly provided us with disposable masks......and I HATED them. They damply stuck to my face and sucked into my mouth when speaking and I was constantly fiddling with it to keep it out of my mouth and over my nose. And they were truly hideous.
So, I did what any creative would do. I borrowed a sewing machine from a friend and made my own mask out of some pretty cloth napkins I happened to have. My sewing skills were laughable. I turned out some very cringe worthy masks in the first couple of months! But, I kept at it, trying some different mask styles, sourcing better and rarer fabrics, and stocking my little Etsy shop with what I think has become quite an exceptional selection of unique and stylish face masks.
It is for a bittersweet reason (a global pandemic !) to have rediscovered a lost skill and I am incredibly grateful to have it back in my life. I find happiness in seeking out glorious fabrics to transform a mundane item into something pleasurable to wear. Face masks will be with us for a long time. I want to make it an accessory you’ll love. Just as we have 5 pairs of jeans, more tops and tees than we can count, shoes for days, a handbag for every occasion...so it will be that we may have a mask to coordinate with every outfit.
Stay safe and social distance. And wear a beautiful mask!
