Wedding Gown from my Sketch

The sketch:
This is for my sister she loves when I hug my dresses that I fall in love with:
Keep in mind that my dress form has no arms and I pinned it at the shoulders. On a person it would be off the shoulders. Front and back:
Bodice detail and petticoat:

I can't express how proud and happy I am with this dress. It was a lot of work to get what I had envisioned on paper to life. Hopefully I will receive some wedding pictures to share. She is getting married at a castle in the hills. How romantic is that?

    She is getting married on the 15th...I hope she shares some pictures. She is so lucky that I just hugged instead of trying it on :)

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.
