A custom fabric flower by M&S Schmalberg for Max Alexander’s “The Angel Dress.” M&S Schmalberg has been part of the garment industry for 100+ years. It’s wonderful to work with another family business that understands the value of craftsmanship and tradition. At Tom’s Sons International Pleating, we share that same appreciation for the skills, stories, and generations of knowledge behind what we do. It’s always special when legacies come together through creativity and craftsmanship. 04 Nov 2026

From a simple piece of hand-dyed silk to a beautiful three-dimensional gardenia. 🌸✨ This is what over a century of craftsmanship looks like! At M&S Schmalberg, we've been creating handmade artificial flowers in New York City's Garment District since 1916. Four generations of our family have carried on the art of couture flower making, using traditional techniques, antique machinery, and skills passed down through generations. Every flower begins with carefully selected fabrics, often hand-dyed to achieve beautiful, unique colors and shading. The silk petals are individually cut, shaped, and embossed using vintage heated brass flower molds, transforming flat pieces of fabric into delicate, lifelike floral creations. In this video, we're shaping silk gardenia petals using one of our century-old flower-making tools. Watch as the heat and pressure bring dimension, texture, and movement to the fabric! These antique machines are still an essential part of our daily production, just as they were generations ago. The combination of vibrant pink and orange tones makes this gardenia especially striking, showing how traditional craftsmanship can produce something fresh, colorful, and contemporary. Our handmade silk flowers have found their way into couture fashion, bridal gowns, millinery, accessories, theatrical costumes, and countless creative projects. While the fashion industry has changed dramatically over the past 110 years, our commitment to craftsmanship remains the same. We believe there's something special about preserving an old-world art form and continuing to make beautiful things by hand, right here in the heart of New York City. A little history, a little artistry, and a whole lot of flower power! 🌺❤️ #fashionhistory #costumehistory #handmade #madeinusa #fashion 04 Nov 2026

Our Garment Center Day celebration had a very special element—a centerpiece for the room that featured about 600 @customfabricflowers carefully arranged by @millelaura on stretched fabric frame to spell out the ReThread Project logo. We were honored to have such a beautiful display of Garment District craftsmanship & artistry made for us! #garmentcenterday #garmentdistrict #mygarmentdistrictstory #customfabricflowers #theatredistrict 03 Nov 2026

From flat fabric to a beautiful 3D flower! 🌸🔥 Watch as we use our antique flower-making tools to shape and emboss fabric petals, bringing each flower to life. This is how we've been making handmade fabric flowers in NYC since 1916! ❤️ #HowItsMade #SatisfyingVideos #FabricFlowers #Craftsmanship #MadeInNYC 02 Nov 2026

🔥 We're always experimenting with new materials and techniques! 🌹 Fabric manipulation is a big part of what we do, and sometimes that means pushing the boundaries of traditional flower making. This time we're experimenting with vinyl, using heat and pressure to transform the material into dimensional flower petals. 🔥 Over 110 years of flower making, and we're still finding new things to try! #FlowerMaking #costumehistory #FashionDesign #handmade #fire 29 Oct 2026

The Art of Flower Making 🌸 Silk, mesh, feathers, crystals, and stamens.... so many different materials coming together to create one extraordinary flower! This oversized floral creation features multiple types of silk, delicate layers of mesh, wispy feathers, and a sparkling center filled with intricate stamens and crystals. Each element is carefully shaped, layered, and assembled by hand. It's a beautiful example of how different textures and materials can transform into something truly special. At M&S Schmalberg, we've been handcrafting fabric flowers in the heart of New York City's Garment District since 1916. Over 110 years of artistry, craftsmanship, and creativity! ❤️ Take a peek behind the scenes and watch this flower come to life! #fashiondesign #couture #costumehistory #handmade #madeinnyc 28 Oct 2026

A little flower magic happening in our NYC factory! 🌸🌺 Layer by layer, petal by petal, these beautiful pink and golden blooms are carefully assembled by hand. Every flower we make starts with individual pieces of fabric, transformed using techniques passed down through four generations of our family. Handmade in New York City since 1916. ❤️ 26 Oct 2026

Meet Silvana, one of the talented hands behind our handmade silk flowers! 🌼 Here she's carefully assembling beautiful pale yellow silk chrysanthemums, one delicate layer at a time. Each flower is made up of dozens of individually shaped petals, all brought together by hand to create that full, fluffy appearance. It's a process that takes patience, skill, and a practiced eye. Watching someone like Silvana at work makes it look almost effortless, but there's a tremendous amount of craftsmanship behind every flower! We've been making fabric flowers in New York City's Garment District since 1916, and we're incredibly fortunate to have talented artisans like Silvana helping us carry on this tradition. Over 110 years of flower making, and still doing it by hand! ❤️ 22 Oct 2026

From flat fabric to beautifully shaped flower petals. 🌸 One of the most fascinating parts of our flower-making process is watching a simple piece of fabric take on a whole new dimension. Using vintage machinery and specially designed metal molds, we apply heat and pressure to carefully shape each petal, creating the curves, texture, and depth that bring our flowers to life. It's a process that combines old-fashioned machinery with skilled craftsmanship, and one we've been using for generations. We've been making fabric flowers by hand in New York City's Garment District since 1916. More than 110 years later, we're still doing it right here in NYC! 20 Oct 2026

Take a look at these oversized silk chrysanthemums! Individually shaped silk petals in a beautiful mix of pinks, reds, corals, and oranges, carefully assembled by hand into these enormous, colorful flowers. There's something pretty amazing about watching all those individual petals come together into one spectacular bloom. Handmade in our NYC Garment District factory, where we've been making fabric flowers since 1916! 19 Oct 2026

Turning yesterday's petals into today's flowers! 🌸🌈 Yesterday, we shared a behind-the-scenes look at how we use our pneumatic press to shape these incredibly colorful, hand-dyed silk hydrangea petals. Today, we're showing you what happens next! Once the petals have been dyed, cut, and shaped, it's time for assembly. Each petal is carefully brought together by hand, gradually transforming all those individual pieces into a beautiful, three-dimensional hydrangea. One of our favorite things about this particular flower is the incredible mix of colors. Every petal is a little different, and watching them all come together is pretty amazing! We've been making fabric flowers by hand in NYC since 1916, and while our machinery helps us shape the petals, the actual flower-making still takes a skilled pair of hands. What do you think of this wild color combination? 💐 15 Oct 2026
