Gothic Maternity Wedding Dress
I was recently commissioned to make a bespoke wedding dress for a friend. She wanted an alternative/gothic style to the wedding, so we opted for her favorite colour of dark green for the dress. The dress consisted of 2 layers. The under-dress is dark green taffeta, shot with black. Over this, is an overlay dress of black floral chantilly lace. This gives an amazing textured effect over the green. To accomodate an expanding bump, an empire waist line was chosen, and a large box pleat was added to give extra volume and room in the front of the skirt. The lace over skirt was split at the same point under the bust, giving a regency feel. The square/scooped neckline, to flaunt her natural assets and to draw attention away from the tummy area. The wide straps also gave extra support. A corset style lacing was added down the back of the dress, using a green ribbon to carry on the gothic theme, and to adjust, so that the dress would fit perfectly on the day! I also added a scattering of green butterflies from the hem of the dress toaround the knee, and I also sewd around 100 black sequins on to the lace over dress. These sequins were not meant to be seen until she walks - which gives a magical effect, but cant be seen on photos that well!

Bridesmaids Dress Proto-type
This is the first of 4 bridesmaids dresses I'm making for my friend's wedding. This project was made using a Butterick pattern, pictured below. It is red taffeta, with a sparkling organza over the top, creating an over dress. The dress is fully lined, making is hang nicely. The bodice is boned to give support and shape. The outfit is finished with a wide ribbon sash with pin corsage, and ribbon straps which have diamante adjusters to match the corsage.
