First dress try-on! *Flash*

Ok so it's really not finished as the straps are only half beaded and flapping off, but it's the first time I got to try it on properly and I love it! This is the dressmakers sewing room, so not as glamorous back-drops a some boutiques, but she sure knows what she it doing.

p.s. The glasses were a thing I discovered on photobucket and thought it might conceal my identity if anyone I know stumbled across this pic. On second thoughts, they don't conceal anything, I just look like a muppet. Ho hum!

    It is very similar Teal!

    My dress maker is going to add little sparkley seed beads to the lace of the straps and I think it will really finish a simple dress off nicely. I like how it will make my waist look really small - it wasn't even laced up in this pic, it just had the elastic clip/back-strap holding it up and it still looks flattering!

    I love seeing this post and your dress!

    Firstly, you look lovely in it and its a really pretty dress.

    Secondaly, this is exactly what i am having done with my dress next weekend and am so pleased to see how your dress has been done! My dress is currently a strapless sweetheart neckline and i have ordered material to make straps with it and am a little worried that it may look like the straps have just been added on, while i want them to look like they have always been part of the dress, and yours does just that - looks great!

    I love the shape of the dress and the way it drapes, it looks stunning! I must say though, I think you'd suit more of an edna everage cats-eye type frame on your specs Smiley winking

    Oh how lovely. I love the straps! Are they satin to match the dress or are they lace?

    They are chantilly lace, but it matched really well! They will be beaded with tiny seed beads to highlight the pattern on the lace too. I will post a better picture when they are finished for people who are considering adding straps to strapless dresses.

    Thanks for all your comments. I can't wait until it's finished now and I can twirl without being scared of all the pins!
