Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is a vintage styled wedding dress I made with a couple unique add-ons to represent my personality and preference. I made this dress over a period of about 4 days just prior to the wedding. Time did not permit me to add buttons all along the back seam of the dress but I was still happy with the outcome.
-It has a ruched wrapped front style with a silver thread stitched frill on the front crossover. I used this to add some interest to the neckline of the dress
-The skirt is a half circle skirt with a dip in the back to give the train
- The dress is fully button up with covered buttons and loops
- Decorate trim was added to the silk fabric banding that ties in a simple bow at the back of the dress
Material Notes
Silk fabric, beaded trim, covered buttons, silver thread and polyester lining was used to make the dress.

I am quite good at producing an item in less than 24 hours. What takes time for me is figuring out measurements and patterns for the different pieces to be put together for the final product. Thanks :)

Four days! That is seriously amazing for any amount of time, but to make it in just four days? Incredible.
