Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I used the Danielle pattern as a basis for my wedding dress. The only main alterations were to make the skirt floor length. I also added a red band around the dress to match the bridesmaids dresses.

Hello !
I’m so surprised nobody told you that you did a wonderful work ! That is such a good idea to make your own wedding dress, and the Danielle’s fits perfectly. I am really impressed, bravo :) .

Thanks. I actually ended up cutting the bottom off the dress for the evening to make it a bit more comfortable. I will post a picture of that when I find one!

Congratulations on the dress and marriage as well! The dress is beautiful. I also used Danielle pattern for my long bridesmaid gown for my friend’s wedding a week ago (just don’t have the pictures to upload). I love this pattern, it is so versatile :)

Oh my, that is so gorgeous! I didn’t think of it either, though I’ve seen similar wedding dresses. Congratulations, I hope you’ll have an occasion to wear the dress again :)
