Update from Bellissima Couture

Posted on

Greetings from Bellissima Couture! It’s been quite a long time since you have heard from me regularly. First, I was making fashions for the Barbie Convention for several months. Then, I contracted Covid at the end of the Convention. I have been sick with Covid and other secondary infections, for 6 weeks now. I haven’t been able to sew. The fashions I have been listing are left over from the Convention.

I have a half dozen commissions to finish up, but I’ve decided to make a change in how I do things. From this point, I will no longer be accepting commissions. I also will not be making multiples of fashions. It is my hope that by making these changes, I can relieve a great deal of stress in my life and prevent long wait times for commissions in yours.

As always, thank you for reading my blog. I appreciate you all.
