CORNFLOWER BLUE - FROM VINTAGE TO UNIQUE!

Do you like the idea of designing your own wedding dress but are on a tight budget?  Would you like something sassy and stylish yet individual to you?  Well Cornflower Blue may be just what you've been looking for! 

Whether you've been handed down a dress that you would like to put your own individual stamp on or have your eye on a vintage dress that you want to work for you, Cornflower Blue can help.   Author of sewing and reworking how-to book 'Thrifty Style', Janine Chisholm Sullivan (recently married herself), feels that she now has a head start on understanding the needs of a bride, the groom, her bridesmaids and her guests. 

Passionate about styling and clothing Janine brings her background of fashion, television and theatre to her work to create something completely unique to you.
