My friends Wedding dress

OK so its been a busy few weeks and i have completely neglected my blog. I have been busy making my best friends wedding dress and although this has been a challenge it has been a pleasure and honour to do so. When we first discussed the ideas it seemed quite an easy task. Having had 20 years sewing experience and have made bridesmaids, carnival and prom dresses in the past i thought it shouldn't be too hard. But after deciding on a design the next task was to get a pattern, material and accessories. So off we went on a dress hunt. In the end we decided on a corset top with a full ruffled skirt. My friend decided she didn't want to be traditional bride so we set about finding the right colour material. After many change of minds we set  on a maroon embroidered corset with a gold taffeta skirt. So the project began. Keep watching for photos and more
