My Wedding Dress

I was getting married, for the third and hopefully the last time, and I had no idea what I was going to wear. I did not want to wear some big frilly poufy wedding dress, I had already done the formal wedding on the last go around.

Then I recalled I had purchased some antique linen and lace on Ebay.  I didn”t have a plan for it when I purchased it, but now it fit into this plan beautifully

I wanted to make a fitted bodice and loose skirt, so I started by making a test bodice until I got the fit correct, then constructed the bodice, and lined it with some matching silk charmeuse that I purchased.

I used the laces around the neck edge and on the sleeve edge with some beading.

I think the dress turned out just right, fancy but not too formal.
