Mon Petite ChouChou


We are excited to launch our new line of Couture Baby Clothing!
Our shop is currently on Ruby Plaza and will soon have its own website.

In the meantime, please look at one of my favorites, The Abigail. She is named
for an adorable young niece.

We took a vintage, soft 100% cotton pillowcase and refashioned it to make this size 1 Girl's Shoe.
We stitched the tops with silk ribbon, lined her with both original fabric and, on the soles, with palest pink 100% organic cotton.
Our Design Team won Best of Show in the annual ASID
competition this year, 2010. The runway show was held
at the Phoenix Art Museum to a sold-out crowd.

Design teams were assigned materials and colors with which to
work and told to 'Be Creative!'

This gown, made from thin wood flitches, drapery fabric,
and metal hardware won Best of Show. Notice that our model
is wearing a dramatic headpiece, shaped from wood, and carries a
magnificent couture fan!
