Ileana (7th Birthday)

Ileana celebrated her 7th birthday by throwing a mermaid-themed party. She called me up to tell me how she was very excited for her birthday and to talk about what she wanted for her custom dress. There was one thing she was very particular about when it came to her dress--it had to be in the color aquamarine. 

Ileana on her 7th birthday wears an iridescent green and aquamarine dress made by QUIERO/ Queenie Reyes Manzano.

The sleeves loosely shaped like shells were an additional design idea added as the dress was being created. It complemented the waves of the ruffles at the hem of the skirt.

It was a fun celebration! Ileana beamed as she wore the dress and was comfortable as she ran and played with her friends.
