I want to thank my gorgeous models Arden (6-12 mos pics) and Maisie (18 mo-2T pics) who infused my dresses with such life, beauty, poise and fun!! Don't they look happy wearing them?

I also want to thank my dear friends Sean and Desi for all of their love, support, and tireless work bringing Baby Ila to fruition. I could not have done this without their guidance. Sean's photographs of the girls almost made me weep when I first saw them.

I'd like to dedicate this first collection to Araminta Elizabeth May Sindeband, for inspiring me to make dresses for little angels.
