Although , these days I have a job to get my hands on the laptop !!!
Earlier on in the year I was working on a wedding dress that meant I had to keep moving the furniture round. The skirt part was so long.
My customer based her idea on the Wedding Dress worn by Princess Margaret, designed by Norman Hartnell, in 1960.
However, she wanted tulle to be used , instead of organza. We had to change the style of the collar because the fabric was just too flimsy to stand up as high. It was quite a challenge but this is the result.
The tulle jacket was edged in ribbon , as was the skirt. I also had to make a cathedral length veil which was again, edged in ribbon. I bought some diamante buttons which were sewn on the front, the cuff and there were six at the back of the neck ( three on each side for decoration, it had hooks and eyes to fasten at the top)
The bodice underneath was ivory satin.
I still hope to receive some official photos, I dont know why I dont take more myself , but I just can't take good photos. I hope you like it xx
