Custom Shells & Bead Work

Yes, we can do just a skirt or bodice, full shell, bead your appliqués or even just die your fabric! Be sure to browse all the way down to see what the moms have done with the items they purchase from us.

A skirt, a Bodice or complete and ready to stone! The choice is yours!

Need A Skirt?

Prices will range from low to high end depending on fullness of skrit and length. Color can be $25-50 extra in some cases. The prices are for Skirts ONLY

Well How about just a bodice (shoulder pad are inlcuded,lol)

Prices will range from low to high end depending on size and detail in extras. Color can be $25-50 extra in some cases. The prices are for Bodices ONLY with regular sheer, net or superstretch sleeve. Any type of lace sleeve or ruffles will be extra.

Or Do you need a Full Shell??

Prices will vary depending on skirt length, detailing and actual size. Any fancy materials such as lace ruffles or bustles may be extra. Custom dieing is available.

Yes Yes Yes, we do Sportswear Shells also! Now please excuse our model for this one, as he is a tad big for this shell unless you like the super duper tight fit, lol! This one was actually not finished, it was going for a fitting, but as you can see in the picture, we do allow "let down room" in the jumpsuits as well as large seams to let out also, as they grow to avoid having to have a new SW made. I will try to get a sample SW price chart soon like the Dress charts above but they are much harder as the shells can vary much more than a dress shell.

Did your last design look as detailed as this? Did you know what to put where or what color to do? Did it give your price saving options? Did it give you fabric ideas, decoration samples or ribbon choices? Our designs are affordable priced from $50, $75 to $100. They can be a sketch of a shell design to as detailed as the one above. Pictures of your pride and joy are a major necessity in the perfect design, so be sure to send those!

Now that you have seen the shells, let's see what they did with them!

From these above to below after Mom got finished!

Mom Turned these decorated shells
