In the Spotlight- Ruby Ellen Designs

From the moment I learned about Ruby, and saw her work, I knew that I would love to work with her. Ruby comes from an amazing family of a talented visual artist-and she is no exception. Already a talented and well trained seamstress, Ruby was 17 when she first designed and created a wedding dress.

Ruby's story reminded me of my own mom, who spent many a late night sewing things for my sisters and I. Also, like my mom, Ruby found ways to fit in sewing, design, and alterations around the demands of a family and career.

In May of 2009, Ruby turned her love of sewing and design in to a reality. Ruby Ellen Designs was born! Ruby custom designs each dress she creates, and specializes in flattering the hard-to-fit.

You'll be seeing more from Ruby in the coming months, but in the meantime- you can check out more of her beautiful work at http://www.rubyellendesigns.com/
