Hello everyone!
Long time no blog!
(Sorry!)
But finally something
that is quite motivating to blog about! As its something I've been
waiting to be able to do since like....last November!
As a bit of a recap, in late 2011, Sam, a girl i worked with
approached me and asked me to make the dress for her big day! After
(finally) agreeing, we worked together with the above picture on her
dress over the next good part of a year! There were no photos available
of the front of the dress, so we designed it together, using lace from
her mothers wedding dress to embellish it.

Samantha
(aka Bride) has now recievedthe professional photos taken at her
wedding! Yayy! I took some at the wedding, but im no pro
photographer, and I didnt want to really pull her aside on her big
day for my own selfish glory pics haha.
But to begin with! Here
are a bunch of progress pics of the dress in the making! Part II will
feature the rest :)
The main reason i did not blog much throughout the process was because her fiance had no idea what the dress was going to look like, so I had to keep it on the down low and not leak the design all over the internets :p

Her mother made her own wedding dress, and Sam and her other both wanted the lace from the top incorporated into the design. So I cut it all up and trimmed into it and
reworked it onto the bust line of the bodice, and all around the basque. What a horrifying thing it is cutting into
someones old wedding dress!

Stay tuned! In the next few days I will upload a blog post with all the amazing pictures from the wedding!
P.s. I have not in anyway missed how frustrating it is to edit a blog post with pictures! GRRRR
