Sammi wanted to use her mother’s dress for her rehearsal dinner. I restyled it into a top and pants outfit.
Liz wanted to wear her mother’s wedding dress. It was 11 inches too big so we had to do some major reconstruction. She chose to remove the train and I added the appliqués to her cathedral length veil.
The original dress had a removable crinoline. Liz wanted more volume added and I attached it to the dress.
To resize the dress i deconstructed it, recut, and pieced back together in the new size.
Liz choose to add buttons down the back.
