Nervous as can be...

I shipped the wedding dress on Tuesday priority mail. She may get it tomorrow or for sure on Friday. I can't post any pictures yet because I feel the bride to be should be the first person to see the gown. In fact I didn't even send her pictures. There is nothing like opening your gown and seeing it for the first time. A picture unless it's taken by someone who knows how to take pictures will never do it justice. Imagine the mail, the box, then opening your dream dress....then putting it on and don't fit. YIKES!!!!

I truly love to make wedding dresses but they are the ones that stress me out the most. If it doesn't fit then I've just ruined one of the most happiest days of someones life. It is such an honor to be a part of someones big day and I know someday I will be bawling because the dress did not work out.

This gown was such short notice and I got it down quick just in case any alterations needed to be done.

Stay tuned I will share the outcome.

    I just wish I could do the measuring myself.

    Did your dresses work out?

Upcoming project for February

I have something different to do in February. I'm pretty excited to do a new design. These pictures are for inspiration. The main thing I need to capture is the ruched bodice and she wants some bling. The back will be a full back and I'm thinking fabric covered buttons instead of a zipper.   I ordered the below bling for the gown.

Completed PS I Love You Dress...I'm pretty happy

I love this dress so much! I need to make myself one. As you can tell from my picture I'm very happy with how it turned out. Front and back view on form: Can anyone find my mistake from my previous bodice post? It is unfortunate that a shop on Etsy has been using my blog and my reviews on patterns.com to list the same items as me. It is flattering but at the same time irritating especially when the same pictures are used. I really love sharing how I hack patterns, make my own pieces to create, recreate garments but at the same time I'm trying to run a business and giving away your secrets sometimes hurts. After all the work I did with this dress I found an actual pattern that would make this dress entirely except for the pockets. Message me if you just want to make this dress for yourself and I will give you the pattern number.
