Setting the Stage

For this project, I was tasked with creating a collection for an underserved community. People with dwarfism, who average about four feet tall and often have proportions specific to those with achondroplasia, have an extremely difficult time finding on-trend clothes that fit properly. They often need to spend a great deal of money altering clothing not made for their stature. Bridal wear presents an even greater challenge for people with dwarfism, as their selection is highly limited.

This collection, taking inspiration from the glamour of Old Hollywood theatre, addresses the need for proportionately designed wedding gowns which incorporate the latest bridal trends.
