I am turning 30 soon, and I have a lot of people getting married this year. I have been invited to five weddings this year, including my sister’s. This bridesmaid dress was made for my friend, who is having her wedding this month. She will have three bridesmaids, and she and I worked on the design together. She wanted something swingy, so I suggested to go with a half circle skirt. As you can see in the sketch below, I suggested three options of the neckline, and she picked #3.
I added pipings all around the neckline. I love the piping details (as you can tell from this and this). It is a simple technique but adds color and more structure to the dress.
It is pretty rare to have bridesmaids in Japanese weddings – we don’t have the tradition. I remember having three bridemaids in my American wedding (I had both a Japanese and an American one), and sadly their dresses were from forever 21. I wish I sewed back then.
