Wedding Dress Commission!

The big day was July 23rd, and I had this wedding dress all set to go by a week before! Haha, a little bit of a short notice -- I had 1 month to complete the whole thing, but alas, I have done it!

What I had made:
- Corset top
- Gypsy style skirt [option 1]
- Sarong style skirt [option 2]
- Lace-up arm cuffs
- Bridesmaid skirt
- The belt to the alternate bridesmaid dress

Time for pictures! And explanations! :D

This is the corset top with the gypsy style skirt. It looks sort of loose here, but the bride was very busty, so it looked better on her. More pictures of her to come!


This is the corset top with the sarong style skirt. She wanted two skirt options because she was having a beach wedding, and she liked the gypsy style, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to look more beach-appropriate.

The bridesmaid skirt. My niece was the maid of honor, so she picked out some random dressy top for this later on. It has lace elastic for the waistband, and it is an interesting pink satin!

The waist tie for the alternate bridesmaid dress. [She left her gray tank on, haha.] She was leaning towards wearing the skirt though...


Corset detailing. The bride had chosen an interesting type of lacing. I really love it!!! :D It's so cute!


Here is the corset arm band. This looks so cute for an nontraditional wedding! I think this was my favorite part and the most fun to make! :] I want to make more of these in the future.

So I had fun making the wedding outfits and accessories... the bride bought me all the patterns I needed and material, and she let me keep everything. Amazing, huh? I'm not sure if I would make a wedding dress again, but this was so much fun! :D
