photos of the night before

here we are, as promised!
the photos of the bride's dress aren't great, but it was a tricky situation for construction shots!! mummy took some photos of my dress when we got back, she'd had a couple of glasses of wine, so they aren't the best...!

the happy couple

the bride

very bad shot of the back!

she had to get into a tiny sports car after the ceremony, as you can see, she can sit really easily


i made my dress using a tutorial found on www.craftster.org http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=31949.0
i changed it a bit, and next time i'll change the bust so i can wear a bra, i need a little help there! it's made from some sheeting and a black and white polka dot dress and some white and black nettimg from the wardrobe at school.



i had lots of fun! i love having a proper occasion to make something for :) now i just need to wait for the summer to be able to wear it again!
oh, and when i was making the bride's dress we found a heart shaped potato! really! here, proof!

Both dresses came out really nice. Very good fit.

thank you, i was very pleased with the bride's dress, i know it's a corset and they can be forced to fit, but it flattered her so well, and she was so pleased, if you can make someone's wedding day better it just makes the whole experience worth it.
and making my dress fit so well was easy, i just sat at my sewing machine with nothing on but a cardigan and kept trying it on :)

Beautiful! The bride's dress is just so lovely and I adore your dress!!! Fantastic job on both! :)

thank you, i thought you would like my dress :p the bride was so pleased, and what's more, her mum was very pleased, and i think she had been terrified of what it would be like, coz the bride wouldn't let anyone see it, they only knew that it was navy!

thank you, i'm so pleased my first commission was such a success, only downside is that another friend in the village is getting married in july and didn't realise i sew until yesterday! she paid for her dress last week :(

Both dresses are lovely! The bodice on the bride's dress was incredibly flattering to her. I can't really tell from the photo, but were the channels straight down on the front or were they shaped a bit? They make her look very hourglass.

she has a wonderful figure, but i put in lots of panels and extra bone chanels on the front piece to add to the effect, i'll show better pictures later, i'll get it back off her and put it on a pillow :)
