This dress was made out of some vintage fabric I was lucky enough to find. The style reminds me of a beautiful picture of my grandma when she was probably near my age, holding out her dress like the middle photo. The dress straps tie so it is somewhat adjustable, resting on the waist (as shown) or below the bust.
I like to look at handmade clothing as functional art. It is a wonderful way to express the uniqueness of each one of us. I will never make anything exactly the same, nor would I want to! A majority of my clothes are my own designs because I like the process and progress from start to finish. I gather my inspiration from life: nature, the diversity in everyone, the way things move, things out of the ordinary...and many others! When I was trying to come up with a name for my business, I thought of how I feel in my clothing and how I want to make others feel. I use a lot of earth tones in my work. I want people to feel comfortable, content, and confident in my creations. "Glow" makes me think of many beautiful things. I think of pregnant women that glow with excitement of carrying a new life within them; I think of the moon that glows gently through the night(I have always been a night person!); I think of love; I think of reality in a fantasy world...or maybe bringing dreams to life. *Natural Glow* I also believe that everything happens for a reason so enjoy it! I hope this helps you understand my motto a little better: "Glow with the flow..."
I've never considered myself to be "normal." Then again, what is "normal" anyway? Let me rephrase, I've always known I was an artist. I draw and paint, play and compose music, write poetry (that I like or think is horrible, depending on the day), have been involved in theatre and dance-I want to do it all! I am currently going to school for music, playing piano and trumpet. I am also in a performing arts group made up of six beautiful souls. I am 'inspired by anything that makes me feel anything.' Family is very important to me. I try to be a peacemaker. I love hugs. I dream of traveling the world (France and Africa on the top of the list!). I like to look at the stars. I love to learn new things. I non-intentionally end up rearranging my apartment every 4 to 7 weeks ( I also like change). And, I heard that if you eat a banana, it's supposed to make you feel happier! Don't believe me, ask the dishes! I mean, try it!

I love this dress! The colors and print are beautiful - very rich in detail. The style is wonderful and takes me back to grandma's time as well! :)
