MY TURN!

Yup, my turn...

So, it just so happens that it's my turn for a pretty white (well, or ivory) dress! I got engaged not long ago, and picked a perfect Sottero and Midgley gown. It's being ordered, so work won't start on it for a few more months, but once it does, I'll try and keep the blog updated. I'll give you a hint though...

It's strapless...and it's going to need a top!

I don't know the designer of this dress...but it was gorgeous...

This dress was a sample gown purchased from a shop in NYC...a beautiful champagne-colored dress with intricate beadwork on the bodice.

Original Dress...

In progress...

 Because the bodice of the dress didn't have lace appliques or pleating I could use to cover the seam, it was done completely with beading. Beading takes more time and is a little trickier, but once it all came together, it turned out beautiful.

Finished!
