Wedding Dress

This summer I was commissioned to create a wedding dress. Working with the bride, I designed the dress and developed the pattern, working from two existing patterns which I altered significantly. The dress is made from heavy satin with a lace overlay. The bodice is lined and features a sunburst of hand-sewn pleats. The short train can be bustled with a simple hook and eye system.
