Here are some pictures of the dress I had been working on. It is always a pleasant surprise when your taste matches exactly with customer requests. I love dresses with a more bohemian feel, delicate lace, open back and skirt design that shows off your figure.
I recently suggested a three-way wedding dress for a customer who has both ceremony and wedding party at different times. She wanted to enjoy two completely different styles, so I made a lace mini dress as a base and she can switch two over-skirts depending on where she goes. One style is made of lace and chiffon skirt, perfect for a beach wedding. It comes with many chiffon streamers which looks pretty strolling on the beach. The other style is princess-line skirt. With a petticoat underneath, it gives a great volume! I ended up using 50 meters of chiffon while making this.
I blogged about other wedding dresses I made in the past here, here and here.
Sketching is my least favorite part of the process…

FIFTY METRES OF CHIFFON?!
Excuse me while I hyperventilate with jealousy over here in the corner.

I know! That is a lot of fabric right?! It was so heavy!

Wow! It looks fab, I love the idea of a dress having multiple looks.
Aww your sketching is sweet, it’s not my strong point either but I find with practise it gotten better over time, sometimes I use a template for the figure so I only have to concentrate on the detail of the clothes.
Chie says
Thank you Sarah! That’s so encouraging. Also it’s nice to know that I can use a template. Great idea!!
