Come Together (The Dress That Is)
This is my (second) last post about my wedding dress, & the last about the construction as I’m sure you’re all sick of reading about it. This is the bit where I put all the pieces together. But before I did I made one last component, the sash. I haven’t spoken about it because it’s … Read more
The Dress Part Three. The Lace Coat.
The third part of my dress is the little lace ‘coat’ that was sewn to the corset. I used the pattern from V2979 to make the lace jacket. At thi point it’s important to mention that the pattern (V2979), has been created without a corset, the full weight of the skirt is held by the … Read more
Post number two about my wedding dress, the one in which I make the skirt.
I started with a pattern, Vogue V2979, & made a practice skirt using some old cotton drill I had laying around. Whilst overall the skirt took a beautiful line, particularly the train.

Bridesmaid’s Dresses
When I got engaged (all the way back in September last year…), I decided that I would make the dresses for my bridesmaids. This plan eventually spread to my dress & a dress for the flower girl but more on that later. It’s taken me a while, but here are the details on my bridesmaids … Read more
My Hen’s Night
For my Hen’s Night, my bridesmaids organised an awesome night of teppanyaki & karaoke. The only thing I had to do was organise an outfit that would fit in with the theme of ‘a touch of Japan’. I decided to make something from the Japanese pattern books my (now) husband bought me for Uke Christmas. … Read more
