When I became engaged, I made a bold move and chose to make my wedding dress!
I started by trying on dresses at various wedding dress shops to find out what I liked and didn't like. I then took my ideas to the fabric store and found dress patterns with details similar to what I wanted. I still wasn't sure how to get the sleeves how I wanted them. Thankfully, a kind seamstress helped me alter my pattern to achieve my goal!
Before taking the plunge of cutting expensive fabric, I did a trial run on cheap fabric. Once I felt good about the fit, I dove into the white fabric.
Finishing Details
Once the dress was fully constructed it was time for finishing details. I wanted to keep things simple, so I opted for silk ribbon embroidery along the hem of the dress, sleeves, and veil, and to leave the rest of the dress plain.
