Cayman Couture for Less

Posted by admin
Custom Dress

Custom Dress

Are you two different sizes? Size 6 top, size 8 bottom? Size 12 jacket, size 10 pants? This can be simple enough when buying separates, but tough going when it comes to buying cute dresses. Usually we end up buying a dress that fits half of us and is too big for the other half, and then altering it. I’m sure shapely beauties Kim Kardashian and Beyonce face the same challenges, but they have designers to create custom gowns for their curves.  

If you live in the Cayman Islands, you can enjoy the same luxury, at a fraction of the cost! Custom designed clothing is an affordable option at LD’s Sewing and Fashion Boutique. The seamstress team at LD’s can whip up anything you can dream of, using your fabric or theirs, for a fraction of the cost of couture clothing. I get most of my dresses made there, and the prices are amazing!  For a typical sleeveless work sheath, lined, I pay between CI $69.00 and $99.00. The design team is so talented that they don’t even use a pattern! The first time I went in, I brought in a favorite Ann Taylor dress to use as a template. The ladies took my measurements. we picked out fabric and lining, and within a week I went back for a fitting. Within two weeks, I had a custom dress that fits better and looks better than the original dress. I became a regular client at LD Sewing, and have since had tons of evening wear, pants, work skirts and dresses made there. My husband, who is 6′6,  has ordered several trousers custom  at LD and he is extremely pleased with the quality of his clothing.  LD makes men’s suits, jackets, and tailored pants. Don’t be afraid to bring in your own fabric. When I’m in the US, I keep my eyes open for deals at places like Jo-Ann Fabrics and stock up for future creations at LD.

Bridal Gown

Bridal Gown

LD also does a significant business in custom bridal. They can do anything but have a growing reputation among local brides for simple, elegant styles that breathe easily in our warm climate. Many of the LD styles retail for as little as CI $499.00, a bargain price for a custom bridal gown! Insider tip: The shop has rental gowns available for brides on a budget. Inquire at the shop for details.

The design team is delightful, creative and lovely to work with. For a rush free, they can work with extreme time frames upon request. The also do a terrific job on basic alterations. The boutique carries ready to wear clothing: cute jeans, casual tops,”barely-there” dresses, embossed leggings, and other fun offerings.

Stop in soon and experience the wonder of custom-made clothing!

Sticks and Stones

Sticks and Stones

The most fabulous home furnishings store in the Cayman Islands just became even more fabulous. Sticks & Stones has moved into their own amazing new home, and you simply must venture out and see it for yourself.

Sticks & Stones is an uber-cool, one-of-kind place you would expect to find in San Fran or London, filled with wondrous eco-friendly & recycled wood furniture, stunning teak creations, magnificent stone pieces, garden delights, and beautiful original artwork. The furniture ranges from wonderfully oversized (huge masculine sleigh beds and enormous sprawling desks) to just right (tiny hand-honed benches that would be perfect for a studio apartment or a child’s room). The quality is excellent. Everything looks like it costs a fortune, but don’t panic..the prices are terrific!

The owners purchased the property and carefully renovated the building as well as the grounds. It is worth the visit just to see the gorgeous doors they installed! Make sure you wander outside to see the gazebo, the garden creations and the recently installed nature pond.
