Meet Dayna, Something Blue Summer Intern!


I can't believe it's almost been a month since Dayna has started interning for Something Blue! I say it's high time we introduce her to you!


Greetings!

For those who have recently visited Something Blue you may have already seen me around.  For those who haven’t, let me introduce myself: Hi! My name is Dayna and I am here as intern for Nicole for the summer.  I have been studying at Eastern Michigan University in the Apparel, Textiles, and Merchandising program.  I am very excited to be a part of Something Blue and learn from Nicole, a WeddingWire award winner for Best Dress and Attire of 2012. 

So far, I have to say, I love working here with Nicole, meeting all the brides, and helping them find the dress for their special day.  Each week, I will do my best to write a post and I always change up the window displays, among many other things.  Hopefully you will continue to check out our posts or maybe stop in! 

-Dayna

Alteration Recommendations - Holly, Michigan

While we do not directly have an in-house seamstress, we do have some great recommendations for you! 

We have been working close with both local seamstress, Kelly's Sewing Parlor, & not-so-far-away Simi of Simi's Tailoring Studio & Tuxedo Rental in Waterford. 

We have heard nothing but great things about each of these ladies. 

Here is a sample that we have on file of Simi's prices:

Bridal Hem = Maximum price $65
Pressing fee = $35

"Plus-Size"

Plus size, fuller figured, curvy . . . fashion designers can call it what they will . . . but the fact remains that the average size for American women is size 14 and up.

At Something Blue Bridal Boutique we have curated a nice selection of bridal gowns sizes 14 and up and I just wanted to quickly show that even though we will continue to order larger samples that we can still accommodate a range of sizes.

The gown below is a gorgeous blush toned Forever Yours bridal gown in a size 18. I threw it on the size 6 dress form to show that it can be clamped down and fit a size 6 dress form.

Same dress . . .
