As I'm not into drafting my own patterns, I tried to find similar style dress patterns and I've found two that I have already ordered. One is a bridal pattern from Butterick (B5325)

and the other one from Kwik Sew (K3400).

My dress will have little straps because otherwise I would be constantly worried that it is going to slip down (I only tried to wear a strapless dress once and it was a nightmare.). I'm planning to use some rose colored tulle/ chiffon and satin which I hope will enable me to wear the dress afterwards as well :)
As for the flowers, I had a quick look on ebay, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Most flowers are white and I would like to use pastel colored ones (rose, purple, yellow, green). I guess I could cut these flowers from actual lace.
I haven't bought any fabric yet as this will have to wait until I have started with the muslin and to see how much fabric (plus extra) I need. I'm also not sure how many layers of tulle I would have to use. The inspiration dress seems to have two layers. I'm getting rather excited :)
These are all beautiful dresses- I think its such a great thing to make your own dress! My mum made her own wedding dress in the '70's and I think its lovely that its unique and no-one will have one quite the same one :)
ReplyDeleteYour inspiration dress is absolutely gorgeous, and I love both patterns that you've picked. Millions of luck with your dress, it's going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour inspiration dress is so pretty! And the patterns both look like good options for bringing your inspiration to life - I'm sure you'll do a great job!
ReplyDeleteShould the overlay be slightly bigger than the skirt? How to make the little flowers or what knid of trim to look for? The little buttons are a must.
ReplyDeleteCream, ivory, pearl, eggshell? So many questions... Exciting!
First of all congratulations on your engagement! As for the wedding dress I find your inspiration dress very beautiful and a great choice, also like the kwik pattern for including a bolero! Wish you the best of luck with this big project.
ReplyDeleteYou're patterns are so spot on for your inspiration! I was a little worried about my wedding dress falling down too but once you get the boning in there and have it fitted exactly to your measurements I promise it's not going anywhere. I barely touched my dress all day because it hugged me in all the right places. I did add gathered tulle straps but they were purely decorative, the boned bodice was doing all the work.
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your muslin process - it's terrifying and fun at the same time!
