Burda Style For people who sew
Description
The moment I got engaged I knew I wanted to make all of my wedding gown, Well I end up not only making my dress, sash, bolero, hair flower and accessories, I also made all my Bridesmaids dresses ( I will post them too!), the groomsman’s vest and pretty much anything I could!
I started with the feel I wanted for my dress, I love lace and tulle so I made a big puffy bottom and a lace top, I crochet the edge of the lace and added some purple tulle to the bottom skirt of the dress to spice it up a little. I made my sash with satin and placed Velcro for a cleaner look.
I loved my dress! It was kind of hard because I was forced to make last minute alterations on my dress due to some unexpected gain of weight, but at the end the dress was super comfortable.

I loved the dress you made out of men’s shirts and so looked at all your projects – too cute, clever, and styling! But the wedding dress and everything else take the cake. Gorgeous. Cute, cool, traditional and quirky at the same time, original without being too out there – you must have had a whale of a time at your wedding, bless you and your husband – love his outfit too!
Best wishes to you and your lovely man for a long happy and healthy life together :)

This is gorgeous – and you are gorgeous in it! Love the purple with the white – can’t get over how well that works!!! Most of all – I admire your stamina – making your dress, bridesmaid’s dresses plus all the other accessories AND the usual drama of just getting married (plus last minute alterations, which would throw me over the edge!!!) You are Wonder Woman!
All the best to you and your husband for your new life together! Congrats!

Wow! I love the unexcepted purple underneath the dress. Then entire dress looks well make. Also, the bridesmaids’ dresses and your husband’s outfit looks great took. I have the contrast of color and styling between you and your husband. This is one of the best wedding dress I’ve seen on Burda Style. Job well done.

You look so lovely! Amazing job AND all the bridesmaid’s dresses are beautiful too. The purple theme works so well. I’d just like to add: cowboy boots on bridesmaid’s? Genius! If I ever get married I want that too!
