How to Wrap your Convertible Dress into a One Shoulder Goddess Style

Today I am going to show you how to create the one shoulder.  The one shoulder creates an asymmetrical look with your dress, and is flattering on all body types.  If you are looking for a modest yet sophisticated style, the one shoulder can be a great option for you.

Please view the video as well as step by step instructions

ONE SHOULDER

1. Step into dress or place over head so that sashes are facing the front.

2. Bring both sashes over your right or left shoulder as desired and arrange so that sashes are overlapping one another (there should be no visible keyhole).

3. Right shoulder: Take your left hand and bring the left strap to the front, take your right hand and bring the right strap to the front (Reverse for left shoulder).

4. Bring the sashes down and around the waist and tie and/or tuck in front or back of dress.

You can also twist the straps of your one shoulder style and create another look.

Three Reasons You Should Take Maternity Photos

When I was pregnant with my first child, I made the mistake of not taking professional maternity photos. I was asked by a couple of my friends who were photographers, but I wasn’t feeling myself. I was busting at the seams and couldn’t fathom getting all dolled up for a photo session. I opted not to have them done, and looking back, I regret it. 

Now that I am pregnant for the second time, I am feeling a bit differently about the process. Here are three reasons why I changed my mind about maternity photos the second time around. 

1.  The photos document the change in your body.

Our bodies go through all these amazing changes and despite the fact that we may not feel beautiful one day or comfortable for a couple of months, the photographs will be a reminder of what we went through to bring a beautiful life onto this earth. 

 

2. The session is a memory you will treasure forever. 

Regardless if it’s your first child or your third, these photos sessions create long-lasting memories. You get all dolled up, put on a pretty dress and smile for the camera. You look fabulous doing it and the photographs will capture that pregnancy glow. 

If you already have children, the pictures are a sweet way to show the love between a child and their soon-to-be sibling.

3. The photos are a great keepsake. 

I didn’t realize it then, but you will always have these photos to use as you wish. You can make a photo album, share them online or even put one on a large canvas and hang on your living room wall.

There is only a small window of time to take these beautiful photographs, a time that you will never be able to get back.

All dresses pictured can be found at Nuova Vita.

Let your mamma goddess shine through and create a memory for yourself and your family.

Oh Baby!

On July 4th, 2015, our lives changed for the second time.  We found out we were expecting our second child!

I had a slight feeling that I could be pregnant and even though it was a bit early to test, I took one anyway. July 4^th is my husband’s birthday. In my head, I figured if I was pregnant, then what better time to tell my husband then on his birthday! and if I wasn’t then off to the next month.

We call him our birthday baby. We are so excited to meet him and welcome him into our family.

Creating memories in dresses I created for such a special event, touches my heart. When I create maternity gown’s, I know that the person who wears it, will smile softly and proudly as they witness life’s miracle grow within. Memories that will be forever etched in their minds, remembering not only the joys of their child’s first kick but also remembering the glow they felt from feeling beautiful wearing one of my maternity dresses.
