Sneak Preview: Zelaya Bridal Line

I spent this last weekend with my friend Michael Pace working on a collaboration. He wanted to photograph a friend and I needed a photographer for my new bridal line, it worked wonderfully. Here is a sneak preview of what happened, this is one of our three wedding dresses, handmade with 100% organic cotton knit. They are all hand appliqued and embroidered as well. All three dresses will be available online starting next week!

Winter Line is Finally Out!

After several weeks of designing, sewing, and burdening my patient housemate as the living room became my makeshift photo studio, the winter line is finally up on Etsy. We are offering scarves for the first time, and have added a few more long sleeve and wrap styles. Check them out by clicking on the images below:

Happy New Year Everyone!
