I'm ready for my close-up!

Through a mixture of flat pattern pieces and lots of draping, I created a muslin to design and fit this gorgeous wedding gown and veil for my neice. I used polyester satin for the main body of the dress, then added embroidered/beaded satin for the sleeves, inverted front pleats and the train. I added a coordinating beaded trim around the hem, waist, and veil.

With a combination of hand and machine sewing, I inserted boning, and added underlinings and linings. It took almost a year to perfect this lovely dress, but the finished result was well-worth all the work!

Amita Amita writes: It is beautiful. I also love to sew, but not that well to put the photos of my creations online. I understood most of the part, but how did you make the skirt so fuller? I also in past have tried to make ball gown type dress for my daughter but never really understood how to add that volume to the skirt. Anyways it really is a very beautiful piece and hats off to you for that.
