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.

In France for instance Cafes and bistros considered an intrinsic part of French tradition and culture are gradually giving way to the more swanky and upmarket restaurants and pubs leaving old timers and loyalists distressed.

  35. Not all your friends can afford bridesmaids dresses costing several thousand, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Dresses can be fairly expensive, and you need to make sure that the design you select is well within the budget of everyone involved. So, before you decide to select the fanciest dress in the store, be transparent about the cost of the bridesmaids dresses. Talk to them about what they can afford and come to a reasonable price range accordingly.
