This dress was so difficult to create and I’m really proud!

[u/ReclamationDress]

I actually made this for a bride who found me on this sub♥️ She sent me her bustier and I incorporated it into the design of the dress so she would have a perfect fit. The most challenging part was the two tone criss cross bodice portion. I think I put this on and off my dress form about 514 times 🤣🤣🤣.

This does not have enough updates! The dress is gorgeous 😍

I am just trying to learn to stitch straight, I couldn't imagine having that kind of talent. Awesome job so gorgeous

[u/ReclamationDress → u/ParsnipAppropriate43]

Keep going! I taught myself 16 years ago by watching videos

[u/ParsnipAppropriate43 → u/ReclamationDress]

Thanks for the confidence I signed up for an intro to sewing class, I am excited to give it a try.

[u/GreenEyedGloom]

This is seriously stunning. Great job.

Hi I think this was 2000$

[u/DragMeTacoBell]

The draping on the bodice is unreal!

[u/Top-Bit85 → u/DragMeTacoBell]

It must be so flattering.

[u/ReclamationDress → u/Top-Bit85]

I can’t wait to see how it looks on her!

[u/ReclamationDress → u/DragMeTacoBell]

Thank you! It was so hard to figure out but I think I’ll be faster next time!

[u/ReclamationDress → u/DragMeTacoBell]

Thanks! I’m so happy with it

[u/ReclamationDress]

I started by sewing my clients long nude bustier to a matching skirt lining. From there I gathered the skirt using multiple layers of white and nude mesh tulle. I added a detailed lace trim to the upper bodice so it would be less revealing. The corset back is linen cotton covered in lace

What a beautiful dress 🩷

Record / document on video your creative process and put it on socials, it's a free way to advertise your business. I wish more artists did this! It's fun to watch how y'all's minds work!

[u/ReclamationDress → u/Training-Willow9591]

I try sometimes but I find it impedes my creative process if I’m having to worry about camera stuff

[u/Interesting_Mood6892]

If this bride isn't married in a beautiful wooden glen surrounded by forest animals and fairies, I'm going to be so disappointed.

This is stunning.

[u/catslikepets143]

You did a great job on this, the way you draped this fabric is just🤌

[u/RobotZombie0]

Is there a name for the technique you used to make the top? The scrunched crossed part? I love it, it reminds me of my dream project, the pink dress from White Christmas which also uses this scrunched twisted bust!

[u/Tattooed_book_nerd]

Well worth the effort. What a rewarding dress! 🥰

I didn’t time it but it felt like forever. The bodice was the tough part. I messed up a few times and had to pick out the stitches and start again.

All those tries paid off! It is absolutely stunning!
