Back On Track

After a long absence, I am back! As I mentioned before, I had a mega wedding i was making the dresses for and was so busy. That is all over and done and although I am in the middle of doing another wedding for the end of September, it's only 5 dresses and 4 cravats and handkerchiefs, so I am less stressed about it.

Here are some images of the dress in progress. I am waiting to get some official photographs from the bride which will show all of the bridesmaid dresses also.

The bride decided she wanted to wear Gold instead of white, ivory or cream. The bridesmaid dresses were in dark chocolate satin with a gold and cream sash. I also made a netted hooped underskirt with a train to give the dress a little body.

The fabric for the bride's dress was douppion and the bridesmaid dresses were in crepe back satin.


Have a great morning. X

Apologies......

So sorry that I have been out of action in posting for so long! My mega wedding took place on Saturday and despite the fact that I still have one more wedding to do for September, I am feeling really relieved to have acomplished it. 8 bridesmaid dresses, plus the brides dress! Pictures will be posted soon.

In the meantime, have a great Monday! X

Sale Shopping

With all my current attention on making the 9 bridesmaid and the bride's dress for the wedding in August, I thought I truly deserved a break from all the pattern making and sewing!!!

A little trip to Net a porter revealed they, like many other Internet shopping sites and high street companies have just started their sale, so here are a few items I am currently considering to purchase before they are sold out! (All pictures from Net a Porter.com).

On another note, I have had to fit in making my niece a dress for her prom (I promised I would) which I intend to sew today during my lunch break at work. It has to be finished for the 1st July!

The sun has finally decided to make an appearance in London! So it's been great to be able to finally wear some of the Summer clothing that has been shelved for most of the year along with new purchases from
The Outnet and a few other high street brands!

Have a lovely day! X
