From Sketch to Reality: Making My Own Wedding Dress

avatar

When my partner and I got engaged, I knew that I wanted my wedding dress to be something special and unique. As a fashion designer, I've always dreamed of creating my own wedding dress, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring my vision to life.

I started by sketching out my ideas and deciding on which to go for after sewing test fits and style that I loved. From there, I picked out the perfect fabric and drafted a pattern that would work for my design. It was a lot of work, but I was determined to make my dream dress a reality.

As I began the sewing process, I encountered my fair share of challenges. There were times when I wasn't sure if I'd be able to finish the dress in time,there were plenty of frustrating moments too, but I persevered and kept going, I stumbled on a challenge (WIP) here which I participated, it motivated me to continue and eventually, my sketch started to take shape as a real garment.

After joining the back bodice, I went to fix the eyelet rings for lacing at the market, I couldn't do it myself because I was scared of ruining my dress 😂

I used a pearl machine to fix pearls on the front bodice, I used a size 6 and size 8 holeless white pearls, it took about three weeks to get it fixed @temmylade also helped out in fixing the pearls, it was tiring but fun though

I used about 60 yards of net and 10 yards of bridal satin, these whole fabrics was too bulky for my sewing machine to sew together so, I had to used a hand needle to hand stitched the lower part (the ball effect) and it took about 8hours to finish the hand stitching though not at a stretch because I was taking a break to rest at intervals

The final product was worth all the hard work. Seeing my sketch come to life as a stunning wedding dress was an incredible feeling, and I felt so proud and happy on my big day. My dress was truly one-of-a-kind and completely unique, and it was exactly what I had always wanted.

Making my own wedding dress was a challenging but rewarding experience. It allowed me to bring my creative vision to life and have a dress that was truly mine. If you're a bride-to-be with a love for sewing, I encourage you to consider making your own gown. It's a special and meaningful way to add a personal touch to your big day.

@bimpcy @mercmarg @clareartista here is the outcome as promised to share with you

Thank you #needlework er for the encouragement

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed reading about my experience creating this wedding gown.
I'm presently helping a sew mate with her client's wedding dress, hoping to share that soonest.
As for my partner's reaction, he was absolutely thrilled when he saw me in the gown. He had seen me working on it for so long, and he knew how much effort and love I had put into it. When he finally saw the finished product, he was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't stop smiling. It was a really special moment for both of us, and I will always treasure the memories of that day.
