Model Emily Herschlagg likes the idea of a custom-made gown.
“We could tell her what we wanted and she would listen to us,” said Herschlagg.
“They can come in with a picture of something they like, or something they imagine they like,” said Rahebi. “Or, if they like different parts about different dresses, I combine and make it one design for them.”
Rahebi’s custom-made dresses start at $400. Off-the-rack dresses range from $200 to $500.
Touch of Design donated the proceeds of Friday night’s show to children’s cancer research and will also donate 10 percent of all sales through March 12 to the cause.
