Description

My wedding gown: Vneck cut bodice w/a bias cut skirt and rushed sash. I've included a couple pictures of the finished product as well as one of the original muslin "pattern" and one of the dress in progress.

Materials

Dupioni Silk (white); Bridal Lace

Credits

This is my first design without a pattern. I partially used a draping and partially trial and error to build the pattern, with a lot of tweeking of the final fit!
I bought all the fabric at JoAnns on sale and saved myself tons of money!
Pattern custom-designed and hand-made by me.

sewing my wedding dress!

I'm so excited to see your wedding dress, I'm making mine, too! But I have to use a pattern, I'm not skilled like you are! Your's is so beautiful, I cant' wait for mine to be done, my mother is helping me. Great job!

Wow, you're brave, making your wedding dress your choice of first patternless outfit! It looks beautiful-- great fit too. And I really love that you included a picture of the muslin--I enjoy seeing the process as well as the finished product!

lost wondering what to do next

WOW! It looks great, very elegant! And I also think it's extremely brave to do your wedding dress as your first creation without pattern, but you really pulled it of!
