I have finally got around to finishing my wedding dress blog - it has taken a while!!
Ok where did I get to? I was working on the detail on the bodice in the last post I believe.Once I had added most of the bodice detail, I began working on the bust part of the bodice. The hand dyed lace I had applied was way to bold and I started thinking about adding lace layers on top. I explored different ways to pleat the lace and added some beads in the centre.
I then started working on the layers of lace to complete the skirt. After much pleating, pinning, stitching and unpicking, the small areas of colour began to shimmer through the plainer lace layers.
I created a 'bustle' shape at the back of the dress with more pleats. I then began looking for the right colour ribbon for a large bow!!
Finally, the dress was complete. I feel I achieved my goal which was to create a Bohemian style wedding gown, mainly white with splashes of colour. Like no other wedding gown I had seen before!!!
