Anyone Designing/making their own dress?
Posted: Oct 3, 2008 5:46 AM

So, I am making my own dress. I am taking the pattern, and making it my own. The dress will be a creamy white. I am adding a second layer of sheer fabric over the skirt section. I am also making the roses in sheer in cream, white, ivory and bridal white with very pale sage leaves, and they will be "falling" down the front . I will be adding beading and crystals as well.  Is anyone else making their own dress?

I was going to design my own dress, cuz the one I fell in love with I can not get in the state I live in, plus I think it would be very expensive. But I decided to go with a diffrent dress which I belive I am getting from David's

I would like to make my dress. I need to figure out where my ceremony is going to be first. So I might be time crunched to buy it. But, if I figure it out soon enough, I will definately make it myself. YOU GO GIRL!!

I am planning on making my dress! My wedding isn't until next winter/early spring (the final date isn't set yet..). Do you have any suggestions on how soon I should get started? Yours sounds pretty, i think she second layer over the skirt is a great idea! I'm doing an original design and using a strapless pattern. I hope it works out for you!

Sounds like you have some great ideas! Vogue patterns can be a pain to use sometimes...more power to you! My mom will be making my dress...we're still trying to decide on a pattern. I will be making my bridesmaids' dresses and I think I've decided to use Simplicity's 3673. I like the middle design with the a-line skirt. The fitted bodice will be very flattering. They will be a mint green with maybe a light pink ribbon along the empire waist-line.
