Eclectic Blue Bridesmaid Dresses and Pocket Squares

By

alissa pocket squares

Something I made recently: Bright blue bridesmaid dresses and matching pocket squares. A customer from Australia ordered this dress, but wanted to add the heart shaped cutout. So we customized it accordingly!

Making pocket squares were fun, as I get to practice on mitered corner, my favorite way of finishing the napkins and handkerchief.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the progress of the wedding dress I was working on. It’s finally completed! I could not be happier with the result. I really enjoyed sewing this dress, perhaps this is the kind of style of dress that I would actually wear if I were to get married again. This dress is quite comfortable to wear as well, with a built-in bra, small cap sleeves for extra support and light weight chiffon and silk satin skirt. beachy wedding dress front and back close up beachy wedding dress

Attaching the lace at the chiffon hem was the most time consuming part of making this dress. I hand stitched about 13 meters of lace! I could not use a sewing machine for fear of the chiffon puckering. It took about 10 hours just attaching the lace alone!

The dress has a sweep length train. Small pearl button and a loop were added in the center back, so the train can be shortened for reception.

happy wedding milo and tokoThere is nothing that gives me more joy than seeing my customers wear the clothes I have made and having them be happy with the product. Last Saturday, Andy and I were invited to a wedding by the bride and groom for whom I made the silk painted wedding gown and matching vest. The wedding was in a quite unusual place for Japanese standards. Usually a couple goes to a hotel of their selection where they offer a whole package – from a rental dress, fake chapel built within the hotel, gifts for the guests to take home and even fake priest! Milo and Toko, the groom and bride of this wedding did everything handmade on their own in a camp site in a mountain in Japan. A place called Chichibu. sainokuni saitama camp site vivat veritas nature in sainokuni saitama camp vivat veritas

It is about three hours away from Tokyo. 2 hours in a train and about an hour by car from the closest station. No cell phone reception! vivat veritas bride and groom silk paintingToko’s family made the matching bouquet and hair piece. All the food at the reception was brought by her family and neighbors. vivat veirtas wedding silk painted dress and vest1 make up woman vivat veritas vivat veritas swing in the woods1 toko and milosilk wedding gown by vivat veritas

Last but not least, this entire wedding was filmed for a Japanese TV show, “Why did you come to Japan? (Youは何しに日本へ？）”! The groom’s family was asked if the TV crew can follow them to see what they are going to do. I am not sure when it is going to be aired, but so excited see my dress and vest on national TV!
