I was honored to design and create a wedding gown for my dear friend. The process took some creativity, as we live in different parts of the country and required the mockup to be mailed back and forth for fitting. The bride wanted a form fitting and tailored gown that was comfortable as well as elegant. I designed this with a dramatic open back and sweeping train, with hand sewn appliqued sleeves and 75 fabric covered buttons down the back.
Created using an originally designed pattern, one fitting in Kansas via FaceTime, one fitting in Washington, hand sewn applique, a lot of buttons, and a very relaxed bride.
