Description
This is the first gown I ever made for myself. I wore it last Saturday at my friend’s wedding. The gown was a blast, one of the bridesmaids even asked me where I bought it because she wanted a white version of it to be her wedding dress. She was surprised when I told her that it was me who made the dress.
The gown has a matching long sleeves jacket with standing collar.
Material Notes
indian silk, swarovski beaded necklace.

Hi Shiela – adore your dress. A tip I have discovered for myself, if horizontal bust dart is too evident front on, especially in shiny non print fabrics, don’t sew in dart, but gather it or pleat it at seam side instead. It gives the look of a fuller bust as well.
