Wedding & Prom Dresses


Bridal gown of lightweight satin with chiffon lace sleeves, bodice and skirt overlay. Individual pieces of the lace
were cut out and stitched to the train of the dress.


Close up of the bridal gown with chiffon
lace sleeves, bodice and skirt overlay.


Bridal gown, bridesmaid's dresses and flowergirl's dress all
custom designed. Bride's gown is bridal, matte satin. The
bodice is heavily beaded, front and back, with white bridal
pearls in a daisy and vine pattern. Venice lace daisies are
scattered on the train and pearls sewn in to each petal. Bridesmaid's dresses are made of crepe-backed satin,
with the crepe side out. Mulit-colored metallic ribbon was
used to trim the bodice. The back of each dress has a long,
chiffon scarf (that matches each of the daisies that they are
holding), attached at the top and flowing down the center
of the dress. The flowergirl's dress is white lightweight satin
with a lace overlay skirt. Mulit-colored ribbon circles the
waist and hangs in a long ribbon down the front.


The original "daisy and vine" pattern of the beading on the
bodice of the dress was designed by the bride and her mom (ME!)
The beading alone took over 80 hours to complete.


Lindy's wedding dress is made of a very fine Thai satin
and organza. The fabric was the softest, most luxurious
I've ever worked with! Her parents are missionaries in Thailand, and they sent the fabric directly from there.
The dress has a fitted bodice with spaghetti straps, and
a full skirt with princess seaming. An organza over-lay covers the satin, except for the band around the top of
the bodice. The tulle the veil is made of was also sent
from Thailand, and was softer than soft!


Tara's Flowergirls

White cotton dresses have a double layer chiffon
overskirt , sheer chiffon sleeves and oversized collar.
The collars have an embroidered chiffon lace overlay
and the cotton/chiffon sash ties in a large bows at the
back of the dress. The bride's dress was sewn by
someone else, but I did alter it to fit her.


Bridal gown made of lightweight satin with
detachable chiffon train. The sleeves,
hem of dress and train, and cut-outs on
the train are Venice lace.


9 bridesmaid's dresses made in a pale, sage green lightweight satin.


Rusty red crepe bridesmaid's dresses with short jackets and rusty red
flowergirl dress. Dresses are sleeveless with a long slit up the side front.


Flower girls and candlelighters dresses
were made of black and fuschia crepe-backed satin. The flower girls have a black skirt and black sash, with fuschia bodice and a layer of fuschia tulle
over the skirt. Candlelighters dresses are black
with fuschia cummerbunds.

 



4 bridesmaid's dresses and ringbearer's vest are made of
black crepe-backed satin with the crepe side out.
The dress has a fitted halter-type bodice and flared skirt.


Bridesmaid's dresses made of black and white lightweight satin, with detached organza sleeves.
Strapless dresses are long and straight, with a full overskirt that is short in the front and long in the back.
The overskirt is lined with white satin, barely visible in the picture. White cummerbunds tie in a bow
at the back and the sleeves are elasticized layers of shimmer organza.
