Endorsements
Janay is an extraordinary gown designer and creator! I have seen what she has produced and she is most passionate about her work and her clients!!!! Genevieve Flynn
Janay is brilliant. Truly magnificent. There is no way that a gown made by Janay will look anything like someone else's gown as she is completely original, yet completely in touch with what you're looking for. The quality of her construction as well as her design is fantastic, and this comes from a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute's Fiber Arts Program, my sister. I bought her a Janay original skirt and she is stopped & complimented on the streets of Chicago when she wears it. Whether you get your wedding gown or personalized gifts for your Bridesmaids you cannot go wrong with Janay of Modern Gown.

Tips and Advice
THINGS I LIKE RIGHT NOW: -Colored shoes under your gown -Custom embroidery in your hem -Knots, draped and pleated into the design of a dress -Vintage Doily-like lace, in circle patterns -Covering up is more sexy! -High necklines, surprise low backs. -Leaving room for creativity -Contrasting Lining (my personal choice is creme paisley in my ready-to-wear collection) -Raw Silk -Organic Fabric -Vintage Lace (especially heirloom lace) -Clumpy, chunky, random beading with mini buttons in the mix -De-layering or converting your dress to something different for the reception -Stretch dresses -Cotton Dresses -Dying fabric I LOVE making YOU feel pretty and unique!
