She Beat Cancer, so I made her DREAM Dress to celebrate!

There is a Full Length 15 minute Version about the making of this dress on my channel! It would mean the world if you’d check it out and drop a comment❤️❤️

Halloween is upon us and I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite projects. (Because who doesn't need a little joy in their day?!) This is my favorite time of year, and I have to say that projects like this make my work mean so much more! It's been a joy to follow along with her mom Laura, and watch sweet Leila thrive!
Now that we have settled into our new home in New York, I want to take on more projects like this! The celebrity projects are fun and challenging but I miss the joy of seeing the kids react to their dream dress.

Consider joining my Patreon?!

As a mother who lost her son to cancer you are an angel, not only making Layla happy but you made her parents happy too. Thank you!

Someone once told me when i was a kid that one person can't make a difference. I've spent my life (I'm 72) proving them wrong and finding examples of single individuals changing lives for the good. You have been added to my list. Thank you. Keep proving them wrong, nothing brings more joy.

Normally i ignore “look at the wonderful thing I did videos.” Example, “See I gave a homeless person money.”
Your videos are completely different. It is about the person you helped and the beautiful things you make.
Keep spreading real kindness.

As a mom of a make a wish child, I thank you for your support and time! The dress was beautiful!

Most people don’t even know the beginning of any chronic or terminal journey as adults and having to deal with it for a child is even worse. Sometimes it’s the small things and little details that people do that really help the children feel better.

You are a fashion designer genius who also has a golden heart. I admire your designs and adore your humanity.

When I was 5 I was diagnosed with B cell lymphoma cancer. Seeing this video brought back my happy memories of when I got my make a wish ♥️

Not me bawling my eyes out because of a little queen in a gorgeous Sally ball gown at Disney...

Gunnar you are amazing! Cancer is bad enough at 32 turned 33. That was 23 years ago now for me. But kids take it in stride and are so fantastic. From one cancer survivor thank you for what you did!

[juliehall]

This is beautiful. I am a childhood cancer survivor myself and will never forget about the blanket someone in the hospital donated to me. She will definitely remember this ❤😊

[slimmonkey]

I love this designer. He has such a beautiful soul. Sending him so much love and great vibes.

The spookiest little princess alive!!! This turned out so well and her smile is SO huge

[suzannesenser]

I love the fact that you are so giving. Unlike an industry full of egocentric designers, you are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for using you talent for those who most need and appreciate you.

The way she jumped up to look at it melted my heart ❤

[jacquig]

Did not make it through without tears. I love when you do things like this. Families dealing with severe illnesses do not get enough support. I'm sure she'll cherish this dress

[amandablevins]

She’s absolutely precious. That dress, is a dress, that…. dreams are made of..

[matthewrambert]

You not only light up her world, but also ours. Thank you for bringing us hope and joy.

I was dropping tears when he said Disney! You are an amazing human being. I'd love to hold your blessed hand. 🖤🇱🇷

[pattyw]

OMG Gunnar! You are THE best! What joy you bring to others with your designs and compassion! Thank you for all you do!
