Being a beach wedding, I wanted something comfortable, not too hot and oh so cute!
Having already spotted this great vintage wedding dress on etsy
And the pattern (c. 1947) it was made from, I had a plan!
So I ordered up 12 yds of cotton lawn (since I knew I'd have to at least double each layer for modesty!) and got sewing!
The actual sewing of the dress was quite easy especially since I found a copy of the pattern in my magic size 15 (Bust 33).
Originally, I had wanted to do flowers under the bustle like in the vintage dress, but I never found any I liked so ocean blue ribbon it was!

I love how you were able to find a pattern that so resembled what you are looking for. A beauty of a dress. The shoulders are so pretty and this dress was meant for dancing around on the beach:) So happy for you and your wonderful romantic adventure:)
ReplyDeleteI actually found the matching pattern and dress long before I decided to make my version so I had it easy!
DeleteSo simple and beautiful! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAll your pictures from that day reflect happiness!!!
Congrats!
That really is a dream of a dress. You look wonderful in it! I have about 5 versions of a dream dress in my head, all depending on time of year, location of imaginary wedding, and budget! x
ReplyDeletePerfect for a beach vow renewal!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'll be making mine also, I already have the lace which is a baby blue, and it'll a 50s style poofy skirted dress :)
ReplyDeleteWe won't be getting married for a couple of years so I have to decide whether or not to keep my pink hair for it or dye it red!
