So after completing my first couture session (a vogue skirt) at a couture school, I decided that creating a dress was the next step. And what better time to flex that fashion-sewing muscle than to sew my bridesmaid dress for the upcoming wedding of my friend (in Mexico!). I decided, for moral support and help, I would recruit of my designer-fashion-school graduate friends to help me. Together we started this project about a month ago.
It was a big project, it was fun, challenging at times and it turned out pretty darn well. Here is a little visual story of how the bridesmaid dress came to be. But first, a big thank you to my friend Stephanie for her help!
The beginning: some pretty coral taffeta fabric, a Cynthia Rowley pattern, some pins and a lot of determination!
