Sew Dresses and More

With the holidays quickly approaching Sara’s simple wedding dress planning has taken a back burner for the next few weeks.  We still need to make it to the bridal store to check out the dress Sara really liked and to the fabric store to look at wedding dress patterns.  But with the holidays comes lots of sales and I found a sale I could not pass up.  At Sewingpatterns.com I took the opportunity to buy 5 patterns that should help me piece together a fabulous, if not simple, wedding dress for Sara all for about $30 including shipping.  I must admit I got a little carried away and bought a couple just to read the directions and to use as a guide.  But I figured that the 4 patterns I got for $2.99 each made it worth saving myself a little time in figuring out how to piece this “Simple” wedding dress together.  By the time all the patterns get here, the holidays will be over, or almost over and it will be time to start piecing all the ideas together.

Just a quick update on the status of Sara’s simple wedding dress.  Sara made a second trip to the bridal store to try on a dress I found online.  This dress had the sheer overlay for the split front skirt that Sara had mentioned she had in mind.  After trying on the dress, she decided she did not want the sheer overlay.  She liked the cap sleeves but they did not stay up on her shoulders when she tried on this dress.  She decided she wants the cap sleeves that stay up on the shoulder but made out of the satin with the embroidery on them.  Here is a picture of simple wedding dress 5 (David’s Bridal Style V9010).
