A little wedding frock reveal!







This summer a friend of mine that I adore asked me to make her wedding dress.

Betsy is a no fuss kind of gal.  She told me she knew exactly what she wanted and then she showed me a dress that she loved and said simply...this is what I want. 

The dream bride to be. 

I am the luckiest designer in the world

Seriously, she was happy with whatever I did, and at every fitting.

 

We went to the fabric store found bridal satin, some drappy chiffon, and there was beaded lace at 75% off, and we went for it!  We were done fabric shopping in like 35 minutes.  That...is a world record for me.

 

I set apond making this special dress, and I did so by drafting a little muslin pattern!  Cut zee fabric, a few fittings and this is what came from it!! 

 

Now...if I can ever figure how to transfer a picture from my phone to my laptop...I will be able to show the darn inspiration!

 

In any case...tada!  this is the dress that I made for beautiful Betsy...who will be getting married on a beach in 2 days...oh my! 







Here it is........

 

Now, it this frock perfect for a beach wedding..or what?

ps...I asked her if I could post this...and she told me I could!

Congrats Betsy & Kelly, I think you are a couple made in heaven.  Have a great time in Hawaii!!
