Some Fashion Not Fear pieces come from a sketched idea. But do they ever come out looking like what was sketched?? I will let you be the judge of that. Take a look at some of the sketches dropped before the item was made…
Sooooo, do they look like their sketch or nawl?! Which are your favorites from the collection?? Let me know in the comments…

A few days ago, it was announced that a new dress was about to drop in the Fashion Not Fear Collection.
A rough sketch was released to give you an idea on what the dress will look like. And I do mean rough because I am no artist!
Creating these days are completely different from before becoming a mother. My son doesn’t care that I have to cut fabric, how much sewing I need to do, or that I need to keep the Fashion Not Fear readers updated on the progress. All he knows is that he wants his Mama and I better pick him up now! Soooo, creating looks completely different these days.
I had to take it to the floor when it came to cutting the fabric. For some reason, that was the only place he was comfortable. Thank God all pieces are laundered after completed.
The material for the Unabashed Dress is everything! It’s soft, silky, and very stretchy. In other words, this piece is super comfortable.
Looks like your stay at home days are about to get more stylish! 😚
Feast your eyes on the Unabashed Dress!
Thoughts on the Unabashed Dress?? I’d love to get your honest opinion on the comments…
(P.S…if you’re feeling it, you can cop it on the site for just $40!)

Last year, I told you about an invite I received to make a dress that will be put in an art exhibit from October 2019 through February 2020.
Destined By Design: A Celebration Of African American Fashion was the name of the exhibit. How could I say no? It was one of my first times making a dress that was for special occasions. And it was definitely the first time I ever had something that I created in an art display. It was such an honor!
If you didn’t get a chance to visit, you truly missed out. The talent made by other black dress and jewelry designers was amazing. Here is a look back at the process of making the dress and how it turned out.
Thanks to the curator who invited me to put a dress on display along with family, friends, and everyone who came out to check it out! It means the world!!
I was thinking about having a contest to give the dress away to one lucky winner. What are your thoughts on that and the dress?? Let me know in the comments…

A few weeks ago, I started working on a new collection for the annual SPIRIT Fashion Show that I’ve been showcasing at for the past few years.
Unfortunately, this years’ show was cancelled due to the pandemic. But it is on for next year, so no worries.
I had already sketched out the 8 looks that I was going to be making for the show. One style was completely finished and I was putting the final touches on the second look when I got the notice about it being cancelled.
No biggie, it was time to make a pivot to my designs! Not really so much the styles but the fabrics. It was no longer going to necessary for me to create 8 looks that had fabrics that coordinated.
The new handmade pieces being added to the collection have the feminine details FNF is known for but I wanted to add some dramatic sleeves in there too. I just love a good sleeve, I can’t help myself.
Here are some of the details you will see in the first two pieces set to be released this week!
This rack will be full of new designs soon. Stay tuned for these two new releases that will be coming out this week.
What do you think of what you’ve seen so far?? Let me know in the comments…

Ruffles are one of the first details that comes to mind when I think about girly and feminine fashion.

Feeling ruffles?? Which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments…

You might hear the word, couture, thrown around here and there. The truth is, some of the people who refer to their garment as couture might not be 100% on that. I asked around to see what people thought, couture, meant. The most popular response I received is, “something that is made by a designer.” And although that is an excellent guess and partially true, it still isn’t couture. The word couture is actually defined as:
If couture sounds like something you are into. Then you might want to bring your eyes closer to the screen. Ok….now that you are really close, check out this announcement. Blue Labels Boutique now offers couture services!!!! Yes, you read that right. You now have the opportunity to order styles that were made specifically for your body!
Why order couture you might be asking?? 🤔
Angie was a recent couture shopper. She reached out from Dallas, Tx, requesting a black, off the shoulder dress, for a holiday party. I got right to work!
I asked if she would mind sharing her couture experience. She happy accepted. Here is what she said….
Yes, it was my first time buying couture.
Being able to select my own fashionable design made just for me in mind.
Yes, I would purchase again.
Yes, because it was custom for me. I didn’t have to go from store to store.
My biggest concern was that is wouldn’t be the exact design that I chose. But it was that and more.
None at this time. You listened to my thoughts and requests regarding the dress.
Yes, pricing was on point.
Thanks to Angie for sharing her story!

The Floreal Skirt and top set is one of my favorite pieces released in the Fashion Not Fear Collection. The print is so pretty and abstract, the colors are fun, and so girly! When the skirt was originally released, it was paired with this super, cute midriff top.
Not only is this one of my favorites, it’s a top pick for customers, too! I’ve had some inquires about wearing this print with a different style top. You asked and I answered! I am happy to say that a short sleeve version.
Which do you prefer? The tank style midriff or the short sleeved version? Let me know in the comments…
