Finally I can do a dress flash :o)

essexmum, 3 August, 2009 at 13:16 Posted on Planning 0 14

I've just been and picked up my dress and my dressmaker very kindly took some pictures of the dress on the dress dummy before she packed it in my travel box (I'm flying out to the Maldives today to have our vows renewed on Friday). So although the dress isn't on me you'll get the idea.

Front of Dress


Back of Dress


Close-up of the train detail


Train detail 2


and lastly a close up of the lace. You can't see it very well but there is gold thread, sequins and pearls which will hopfully sparkle as I walk across the sand :o)


I had 5 dress fitting in the end however the dress fits me like a glove, is really comfy to wear and hopefully I won't get too hot. So what do all think?

    Denise Grimble from pretty stitch design http://www.prettystitch.co.uk/ She actually cut the lace and hand-applique the bottom part of the train to make the scalloped edging, She is a really lovely lady and didn't bat an eye when I kept changing the design. When I first met her I had about a dozen photographs of different dresses and she manged to merge my ideas in one stunning dress. I can't wait to wear it for real on Friday

    Very classy, its gorgeous. I had lace for our wedding, it caught the light lovely, and with the pictures of us walking on the beach, the detail really stood out!

    Big fan of lace, hope you have a lovely day!
