The Heather Dress

I am excited to be participating as a runway model in the Designs & Dreams: Fashion for Life Fashion Show, presented by University at Buffalo's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Alliance. This year's Designs and Dreams show is dedicated to bringing awareness to suicide prevention. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a charity that helps teens and young adults cope with depression and suicidal thoughts.

I will be walking for one of my favorite designers, Beth Eischen owner of Lilipad Creations, wearing a fabulous dress Beth has custom made for me!!! This year Beth made it her goal to design and construct dresses made out of fabrics and materials she already had in her studio. So, she created a story board, picked her models, matched them with fabric swatches... and began sowing!


When I saw my color swatch, I was extremely excited! I shared it with all my friend on Facebook, encouraging them to attend; after all, aside from the incredible designers that will be showing their clothes, it is for a great cause! So, imagine how elated I was to first see the dress on Facebook titled...

The Heather Dress.

Yes. A dress made just for me, named after me! How awesome, right!? This will be the first time I will get to wear an outfit constructed specifically to my measurements... so I am really excited to try it on, and rock it down the runway!! This design will be available for custom order after Friday night's show. Let me know if you are interested, I have a feeling this is going to be a hot look for the spring ;-)
