sisters wedding dress


Last year I made my sisters wedding dress. today is her first anniversary so I thought I would post about the dress. first off she wanted to make a dress inspired by our great grandmothers wedding dress from 1926. it was a simple enough design I told her I would do it for her. so began the journey of finding everything we needed for the dress. I also made the bridesmaids dresses, which were made from the same pattern. this is also the pattern I used to make my 1920’s dress for my decade project. I was quite happy with the way her dress turned out. and she loved it too which is always a good thing when working with a bride. oh and just something really neat my sister wore the neclace our great grandmother wore at her wedding. it was my sisters something old.

1920’s dress

I realize the fabric is not historically accurate . in fact I have no idea what it is, as the bolt said made of imported unknown fabric but I thought it looked pretty good anyway. I made this dress about a year ago. I copied my great grandmothers wedding dress for the style, so the pattern is authentic at least. I had to make the arms larger since people then had the tiniest arms ever. they had to have, or else how did they wear the clothes? I had fun figuring this out, and very carefully handling my great grandmothers dress. now all I need is some cute shoes to go with it....
