Work time has been spent doing alterations for my customers. I have altered a DJ and trousers, a pair of wool trousers and taking up a pair of linen trousers. My 'bread and butter' work. However, these times are a great opportunity to show you past work.
Wendy is lovely and she makes the best cakes (check out her photo album on facebook). I designed and made her bridesmaid's dresses for her wedding. She had her two daughters and her husband's daughter as bridesmaids, and her nephew as an usher.
Wendy wanted all the dresses to work well together as a group, but also to flatter all the different shapes and sizes. We decided on a long halter neck dress with crossover bodice in brown satin for the eldest. For her daughters the dresses needed to have elements of the adult dress, but to be age appropriate. We decided on crossover bodice, with A-line skirts which came down to the ankles. The youngest was dressed in white (flower girl); the middle bridesmaid worn brown to provide the link between the two dresses. The brown dresses had white waist ties, and the white dress had a brown one. The usher had a simple waistcoat with the brown satin front and a bright orange back to tie in with the flowers.
Creating individual outfits that fit and flatter, while at the same time working well as a group is an exciting challenge, and you can't help but get caught up in the excitement working with the bride towards her wedding day!
