Follow the journey to building my clothing label - fabric shopping, pattern cutting, fittings, collections, photo shoots, runway shows - let's have fun with fashion and see what goes on behind the scenes: from an idea to a dress there is a long, but extremely rewarding way to go.
Oana Frigescu (TV presenter) looks great wearing the DBD dress that was up for auction at the ‘Expo Ideal Mariaj’ event. I actually loved the back of the dress a whole lot, as I spent a lot of hours hand-sewing all those pleats. Details of the dress that I photographed in my atelier, before sending .... read more
I am really excited that I got to make about 10 dresses from the new collection, besides, however, I had a few orders that I post right now, just so you see that I’m not constantly updating the blog for a reason: work. Monday morning started pretty good, because of the sun that is shining .... read more
Me wearing a Diana Bobar Design dress (of course) in today’s issue of ‘Adevarul De Seara’, published in Timisoara. The new year started quite good press-wise (more to come). You can read this article about me and my work in today’s issue of the newspaper called ‘Adevarul De Seara’, edition published in Timisoara. Huge ‘thank .... read more
Just wanted to let you know that you can get most DBD dresses with 50% off at the Ummagumma store in Bucharest (Calea Victoriei 122). We are having this sale, so we can make enough space inside the store for the new dresses from the spring 2009 collection. I’ll make sure to send them in .... read more
Tomorrow, Jan.24.09, you must tune in on TVT89, a local TV station in the western part of Romania, to see me featured in the show called ‘Life In Pink’ (translated from the original “Viata In Roz”). Marilena is the loveliest presenter ever; I invited them (the TVT89 team) to come and film me in my .... read more
Detailed view: Cute little button dressed in the same fabric. I made these two gray tweed jackets recently. Both are fully lined but I sewed them a bit differently. The first one (picture on the left) has a few extra seams on the front, all around the edges/margins of the fabric, while the second one .... read more
Her name is Camelia and she found out about my work from a few of her friends (Diana and Andreea, my other lovely, pretty, perfect clients . You might wonder what it is that makes her so special: first, it’s the positive attitude towards all that is new and unusually pretty or chic – she .... read more
A few dresses that I made recently. Lovely little black dress, no? I actually want this for myself too! My lack of posts recently is due to the fact that I had the worst week ever. I know I usually write mostly about my accomplishments, making it (work-making clothes, running the business) look darn easy. .... read more
Ioana wearing the gray DBD dress with a cute yellow belt, Cami wearing the red one with a printed scarf tied around her neck. I slowly get photos from pretty girls who wore DBD dresses for the New Year’s Eve party this year and it’s exciting to see how many people started their new year .... read more

One year has passed and it’s time for adding things up and for making plans for the new year. That’s why I spent a lot of hours searching through my archives, making this following list .... read more
