Just have to say...

So I like to scroll through Pinterest every once in a while. I know I'm married...but, since wedding dresses are kinda my thing, I search "wedding gowns" pretty often. Sometimes I'm looking for a specific idea, or for some inspiration, but most of the time because wedding dresses are my kind of eye candy!
To get to my point...in some of my searching, I've found some pins that just tickle me pink...photos of my brides in their dresses that I've altered! I love it!

Some of the pins...

 

Oh, so fun!

DaVinci Gown

This is a great gown...it is simple and elegant, and looks beautiful with sleeves too...

 Finished!

(I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of the back of the dress, but the pleats

continued with a lace-up all the way up the back)

One of a Kind

This bride found her dress at a designer shop in New York. It was a one-of-a-kind sample - nobody else will ever have this dress!

I unfortunately don't have any pictures of it completely strapless. You can get a pretty good idea here though; the photo below shows the dress at it's early stages, and you can clearly see the line where the dress originally ended...

The seams were then beaded over to make the transition just about invisible...

I loved the rounded neckline on this dress. Smoothing out corners on the neckline also takes attention away from any seam that might be slightly visible.

Finished! 

 Petal sleeves and buttons all the way up the back!

Maggie Sottero Victoriana

Maggie's "Victoriana" is the classic fairytale ballgown that every little girl dreams of when they imagine their wedding day.  It's gorgeous! I have altered this dress once before, but this bride chose a different sleeve style, so I thought I'd post this one as well...

Maggie Sottero Montana

This is such a beautiful dress, and the bride had some great design ideas that were fun to work with. It turned out lovely...
