So, every senior is
required to take a Christian Lifestyles class at my school that culminates in a
project where we plan our own weddings. It's strange, but fun.
Anyway, I found a pretty dress from David's Bridal and settled for that, but then
I thought... nah. I'll make mine! The wedding itself isn't going to
be Regency, but the Regency silhouette is classic enough that it can really be
applied to any occasion (example: my prom dress had a very Regency-like empire
waist). The original dress that I found was so gorgeous that I simply had to share it with you.
The most gorgeous
thing that you've ever seen in your entire life, right? It is
exquisite. I don't even know where to begin.
Since the picture
lacks a full-length view, I decided to extrapolate a little for that. I
looked through some fashion plates and decided to do this kind of skirt
treatment:
I love the look of a
shorter overlay fabric and an underlayer with a train. It's adorable,
no? The fabrics I'm going to use are this amazing silk organdy:
And this gold silk
taffeta:
Now I'm really
tempted to make this dress! I'll save it for my wedding, though.
That's all!
what a fun project! the skirt treatment is very similar to what i'm doing for my wedding gown: http://couturecourtesan.blogspot.com/2012/04/recipe-for-wedding-gown.html
