wedding dresses

My greatest buddy got married this past week.
We were assigned to be roommates as freshman in college and so are already near ever since.
For her wedding, i have been the maid short wedding dresses of honor and so I made Ellie a little dress to match the flower girls even though she just sat in the audience with her father and no 1 most likely noticed her matching.


I received this grey layered plus size dress from Baby Gap from my sister in law being a gift, and I thought it was so cute. It arrived using a little black wrap sweater. The wedding colours were red and black so I decided to create use of the black sweater and make a red layered ruffle dress...last minute the day before I needed to drive to the wedding.

To make the bodice lined, I just reduce two of every piece and made two separate bodices, sewing the side and shoulder seams. Then put them best sides together and sewed them together up 1 back, near to the neckline, then comfortably the other back side. contemplating how the bottom is open, you can flip the bodice best sides out.
I utilized velcro to near the back, just like her christening dress.

The Baby Gap grey dress had cool non-fray tulle for that skirt. But I just got 1 yard of red chiffon and reduce strips 8", 6" and 4" wide as well as the width with the fabric, then folded them in half and serged them together. This way the ruffle layers are folded and top-stitched to the underskirt, but I didn't have to hem the chiffon.
**My serger is super old, but if I had a wonderful newer serger I would have most likely just serged a rolled hem rather than owning the folded ruffle layers.

Just for fun I wanted to display you my wedding dresses friend's wedding dress for that reason that my mom made it.mother of the bride dress Years ago my mom gave Molly a certificate that she'd make her wedding dress, and she ended up redeeming her coupon and had Sheila sew the dress she designed. I'm pretty certain she loved it for that reason that she took 3 or 4 gowns every using a different aspect she liked and put them together in her custom made dress.
Here's a bridal shot she sent me:
