I've finished my latest major project - no, I'm still writing my thesis.
I have had the joy and honour of redesigning this wedding gown by Pronovias for a dear friend!

I altered...well, really more like 'reconstructed' it from a size 10 down to a size 0 (had to take in 12 inches alone from the front side seam to side seam). I replaced the original lace around the top of the bodice to one I found in nyc's fashion district, I reshaped the back into a soft v and added satin buttons. I used the same lace when making the veil, and mimicked the beading o
n the dress. I also changed the silhouette into a trumpet silhouette, and of course hemmed it (reshaping the sides into the train).
These were all details that the bride wanted for her "dream gown", and I was very excited to be able to furnish them for her!
It was an intense project, but the bride was happy which is what mattered the most, and as a bonus, I found so much joy in sharing my God-given gifts! 
Hey! I'd hire you in a heartbeat! (but are you sure it's not a "tulip" silouette??! hee hee). You totally rock, Celeste the designer/tailor/seamstress/GENIUS!
ReplyDeleteCeleste you are the sweetest! I really cannot thank you enough for my dream dress - which it truly was! (Tulip silhouette and all, ha ha) You are incredible, amazing, the very best! Love, 1 thankful bride (well not really a bride anymore!)
