Wedding dresses

I have had the pleasure of making some unique wedding dresses for some lovely ladies recently.
Thanks to my facebook page and word of mouth I was contacted and asked if I could create something that combined the ideas and dreams of my clients and my individual, quirky style.
Each dress was a challenge and although I found it quite stressful at times, I loved making my very first corset style bodice, ordering special tartan cloth (even if it took me ages to make the first cut),
finding beautiful pieces of vintage lace and linens that would go with each dress, gathering up different fabrics and piecing them together...adding details and seeing the finished garments.
The best part had to be seeing the photos of the weddings themselves and knowing that everything was perfect.

I have had the chance to create some very different dresses for a friend who is getting married at the weekend.
She asked me to make some of my raggy faerie dresses that I've started making from vintage linens, tablecloths, doilies, delicate frayed cottons, and other raggedy fabrics.
I've not done many custom orders, but I feel like this is the first of many..
