Ralph and Russo is one of my all time favorite designers as far as garment construction and fit. This beautiful sample that Meave Reilly chose for Ciara to wear while 4 months pregnant was quite un-proportional and overall too small. After 5 fittings I was able to recut this in 5 days, using soft Italian tulle and ribbon I magically also had in my fabric bins. My studio is purposefully stocked with countless types of silks, Italian mesh, bust cups, corset making supplies and anything you would need to tailor a couture gown overnight.
