Sneak peek: wedding dress flowers
I am excited to show you more, but for now here's a little sneak peek...
I made several fabric flowers, to test out the methods, and played around putting them here and there on the dress. I just used straight pins and moved them around for now. Not sure where they’ll go in the end... open to suggestions!
So beautiful, I wish you so much happiness and you will look stunning. ax
ReplyDeleteThat is SO gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteI am not sure how to contact you, but thought of you when I saw this listing on the Portland Craigslist site. It's patterns from 70's - 80's & 90's...

ReplyDeleteWow this is gorgeous. You blow me away with your sewing skills!
ReplyDeletewoww the flowers are so beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeletecan I ask how did you done them?
I like to do some for my dress too:-)
looks absolutely gorgeous, can't wait to see it finished!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!!!
ReplyDeletethat is just amazing. I would never be able to do something like that. What a talent.
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thanks, everyone.
ReplyDelete@OrloSubito, I will totally do a tutorial of the flowers soon!
Love the flowers! I'd be really wary of putting the flowers at your waist. Between the ruching on the bodice, and the slightly scrunched sash you run the risk of making yourself look really wide if you put flowers at your waist too.
ReplyDeleteBut feel free to ignore me ;-)
So beautiful! It's going to be so great to be able to pull out your own hand-made wedding dress from the closet when you've been married for 30 years!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking SO lovely. Maybe a tute on the fabrics? they look so nice!!
ReplyDeleteoooh, looks amazing!
ReplyDeletevery pretty. I salute you for making your own dress & bridesmaid dresses. I made my own bouquet and corsages, but that was absolutely my limit.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are gorgeous.
They will move at the rhythm of your first dance!!!
ReplyDeleteWow this is going to be one stunning and dramatic dress!
ReplyDeletewow, will you be posting a tutorial on how to make the flowers :)

Absolutely beautiful! The flowers are a gorgeous touch. I'd tried placing them in various ways -- angled rows from waist to hem; around the waist and hem; in a bow pattern from bodice to hem; or randomly (seemingly) around the skirt with one larger one at the edge of the bodice. Just some ideas, but I'm sure you will come up with the most perfect placement. The dress is stunning!
ReplyDeleteWOW! i love love the dress...good job!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE your dress!! I love that you are making your dress. It's looking great!
ReplyDeleteI adore your dress. I can't tell if it's just me/my computer, but is it a slightly gray shade of white?
ReplyDeleteAlso, if I may offer one (possibly critical thought), I'm not sure about the flowers on the skirt part. The skirt is so light and airy and the flowers so big that it almost seems like they're weighing the skirt down. I LOOOOOVE them on the top part though!
I think your dress is amazing-- I wish I'd made my dress so it could have been exactly what I wanted. My opinion contradicts the previous post because I love the flowers on the skirt! The bodice already has ruching and I think more detail there would cover your shape, but I love a big statement on the skirt, either scattered along the bottom half like you've got or (possibly requiring making many more flowers) all over the skirt portion. Whatever you decide, the dress is beautiful, and the awesome part is, whichever you decide will be perfect for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, and thanks for the ideas!
