#wedding dress sewing

[janerhoadesart]

Since I like making bad decisions that drive myself insane, I sewed my own wedding dress. It almost killed me, honestly. I'm soooo glad it turned out well, and in the end I was so happy with it, but DANG.

It started as a bustier dress, with boning and underwires, but I hated that a ton. So that got covered up by a bodice and the bustier top became an interior supportive corset lol. The skirt is just a silk shantung circle skirt, with a petticoat underneath and an overskirt made of tulle. I had to add homemade padding in a few places in order to improve fit, too. Stitching everything on top and figuring out how to arrange the lace and flowers took WEEKS.

Materials include: Silk shantung in Abalone from Silk Baron, a bunch of ivory silk organza I found at the thrift store, random cotton fabric from my stash, at least 15 yards of tulle in various colors, silver corded lace I cut out and appliqued on by hand, dozens of fake flowers I hot glued to small pieces of craft felt and appliqued on by hand, organza flowers appliqued on by hand, and several pieces were made from my spouse's grandmother's wedding dress which was made of ivory silk shantung. Plus even more random notions and handmade bias tape and stuff lol.

After months of hour-at-a-time work, the embroidery is all painted and the top is complete. She is now pinned and ready for the final bit of sewing. The end is in sight! (Which is good because we elope in less than 2 months and I still need to do B’s waistcoat 😬).

This LotR reread is giving me an OVERPOWERING urge to sew myself a bunch of cute little hobbity vests

Will you share a picture of the pastel pink wedding dress? Would love to see it!

Of course! Thank you for reminding me!

The wedding was in a rustic field, so the pictures were hampered by me sinking into the sod, but here it is:

For a dress and bag made in a week, I'm quite pleased.

I got married this summer!! And I spent the year leading up to it designing & patterning & making my dresses! So here they are; unfortunately my photo selection is pretty limited cause our photographer got almost no fullbody pictures of me alone from the front, but w/e

My wedding dress/outfit/what have you consisted of an Edwardian-ish blouse and a skirt which I drafted off of an actual Victorian walking skirt pattern except since I didn’t wanna obtain/wear a corset & bustle I took out the hip shaping so it just turned out to be a partial circle skirt that’s a little longer and fuller in back. Oh, and the front panel was actually two overlapping panels which could be folded back and attached to the inside of the skirt. I wore it closed at the actual marriage part which I didn’t get good pics of, and open at the ring ceremony, which is where all the above pics were taken. The pants were resale, but I did make my veil and bouquet!

The second dress was very inspired by this set of classic lolita OP’s (particularly the one in the first two pics) which I first saw back in 2021 and I’d been itching to make something similar ever since, so I picked up the fabric for it when it was on sale back at my old job and then pencilled it in as my reception dress so I would actually get around to making it. (Although fun fact both of these outfits STILL need more sewing done before they’re completely ready for regular wear lol. Someday) I got the cameo for the brooch off Etsy (it has a butterfly on it) and my grandma bought me the shoes for Christmas last year, though I added the bows to them (they’re removable and I also made a pink set) and also made the earrings and hair bow.

Anyway we recently got done moving and stuff so hopefully I will be able to do more art soon! (Also they/them preferred as usual 💜)

I am picking up a new serger tomorrow and going fabric shopping the day after so I can start to sew my wedding dress and my Starfall dress. Would y'all be interested in me posting my progress/updates?

[deanmarywinchester]

does anybody sew here who has thoughts or resources on hacking premade clothes? I have to get this jumpsuit where you can tie the top different ways for a bridesmaid outfit and I’m wondering if there’s a chance I can butch it up a little. well butch is a strong word but mainly I get dysphoric about stuff that’s form fitting in the chest and was wondering if I could take out the padding/boning (+ make it not a sweetheart neckline) so I could bind. I could make the racerback or one shoulder option work if I could make it a little less boobful

The dress is done!! (And I practiced bustling it and walking with it bustled today). I was not expecting to try it on today, so I didn’t bring any makeup or hair stuff, but just pretend the face matches the dress. I’m so excited! Hopefully B will love it.

New commission:✨Step into a dream with Sarah's enchanting ballgown from Labyrinth! ✨

This breathtaking creation features a stunning skirt with seven iridescent layers in soft pastel hues, each glimmering like an opal.

Structured bodice, with the unmistakable large puffed sleeves. This particular gown was made with some changes from the original design per the clients request, which I fully agreed with. We removed the mottled patterning in the gown, and replaced the yellow & green hues with pinks, lavenders, and lilac.

Okay, so, for a little context, @drawthething once asked me what wedding I think Gene would have. And I decided that he would have a huge, jungle-themed wedding. And in my opinion, he might even be the only Belcher who would want to have a huge, stereotypical wedding with a gigantic reception and after-party and everything, the whole shebang.

Okay, obviously, Louise wouldn't want to have a huge, stereotypical wedding like Gene would. If she even gets married at all (I could honestly see her being one of those types who never gets married to her partner and they just date forever, and leave the government out of their relationship) she would have a very simple, lowkey wedding with just a few people in attendance. Sort of like Bob and Linda's. And I could even see Tina, the hopeless romantic, wanting something a little more lowkey for her wedding. She would definitely have one, but I could see her just having a nice, simple ceremony at a chapel or something.

But anyway, like I said, Gene would be the opposite. He would want everyone who he's even given a passing glance at his wedding. He'd want the whole world to know he's devoting his life to his special someone. And of course, Sergeant Bosco would somehow be there too and would get super drunk and try to arrest a fern. That isn't that relevant, but it would definitely happen at Gene's wedding.

Gene would be the one that Linda would sew a huge wedding dress for, and the entire family would be very excited for him, and also very emotional. All in all, it would be a beautiful wedding.

And Gloria and Al aren't invited. Also not that relevant, but it would also definitely happen in my eyes. They're not allowed.

[ID]: Digital fanart of a slightly older Gene from Bob's Burgers. He is standing with a huge smile on his face, with his hair tied into an intricate bun. His arms are crossed on his chest, with his hands resting there, and he is wearing a beautiful, ornate wedding dress with a few layers. It is a classic white color as well. He is standing in front of a complicated, jungle-themed background, with tables that have all sorts of tropical plants in the vases. Many lights are hanging from the ceiling, which is complemented by even more tropical plants coming down from the ceiling. It can be assumed that he's getting married.
