Megan's Wedding Dress







I'm busy making my daughter Megan's wedding dress. The wedding is on June 6th. We went and tried dresses on and she decided what she liked and then found patterns to use the components from two patterns to make the dress she wanted. I'm using bridal silk from Joann Fabrics with a cordinating silk w/ tiny sequins. The bottom of the dress is Vogue 2964 http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/V2964.htm?tab=list/evening_bridal_includes_designer&page=all and the top and waist are Vogue 8182 http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/V8182.htm?tab=list/dresses_includes_designer&page=all. I've put as much as I can together as I can without her to fit. She's not coming in until late June 3rd so will have lots to finish before the wedding. Here's a few pictures of dress in progress. It's pinned together on the dressform. Megan wanted to get a peek at what it would look like. I'll put more pictures up as I go.
