SewStylish Fall Fashion Challenge 2014

October Wedding

Wedding dress with jacket

I created this outfit for my October 5th wedding.  I saw this devine piece of lace which I had to have, but the best backgound fabric for it was a burgundy velvet.  I did not want a heavy matronly look, so just as I was about to give up I found this beautiful green stretch satin which gave it a lighthearted festive look, although it was a bit Christmasy.  Once again I was about to give up when I stumbled upon this exquisite piece of orange silk.  My finace’s favorite color is orange so I knew this was a must have! I had a bit of fun embroidering a wedding design with our initials on the lining of the jacket.

No outfit is complete without the proper shoes.  I found a pair that I liked on the internet but they were not in my size – I studied them to see what exactly I liked about them and I discovered it was the feathers and flowers.  Off to Macy’s I headed and found these delightful strappy sandals (which were on sale no less!) and after a quick stop at Claires and a hot glue gun I had the perfect shoes to set off my perfect dress!

It is so exciting to have te ability to create exactly what you want at any given moment instead of being chained to the whims and fancies of others.  That is was sewing means for me!
