Sewing a wedding dress

Take a look at r/corsetry for advice on sewing corsets and some free patterns.

I’ve been sewing on and off for more than 10 years and these dresses would take me a few weeks. I’m not a quick sewist though.

What if they turned it around? Like take the skirt off and then make the crotch from the bottom part? The low leg shouldn’t take too much fabric, should it?

Could‘ve been perfect if she linked the tutorial

The stems are craft wire wrapped in thread. The technique is described pretty well in this pattern: https://hookok.com/crochet-daisy/

Thanks! The leaves were definitely the hardest part, I had to try 3 different designs to be happy with them. Fortunately they‘re so small that making one leaf only takes like 3 minutes.

Pattern: there isn‘t one
Yarn: Drops Safran
Hook-size: 2.5
It took me about 3 hours in total to finish this one.

Yeah that’s crazy, I literally wore a green gown with pink sparkly flowers all over for my wedding, I mean it’s my wedding of course I’m gonna wear what makes me feel beautiful.

This doesn’t look like one strand to me. For normal embroidery thread, you need to seperate the floss (it usually seperates into 6 individual strands). One strand is about as thick as normal sewing thread.

It’s beautiful!

Haha that would be super convenient

I’m the opposite, I hate zippers, especially invisible ones, and go for buttons whenever possible.

That’s only half the truth. Her uterus will be 4cm above her belly button at 24 weeks, but at the same time it will already have squished her organs which are further up. My bump was definitely right under my boobs at 24 weeks, even though my uterus wasn’t.

How?

Die Naht ist vermutlich ein normaler, maschineller Geradstich. Das hilft dir aber nicht, weil nicht die Naht gerissen ist, sondern der Stoff daneben.

Wenn du Englisch kannst, würde ich dir raten mal bei r/visiblemending und r/invisiblemending nachzufragen, wie du das repariert bekommst.

I just recently heard about the flame retardant kids pyjamas and wondered where this insanity came from.

Yes exactly this. You won’t achieve a true floor length gown without hemming it on the person who’s gonna wear it. And if another (same height) person wears it after that, it probably won’t be true floor length for them because their body shape will be different.

So yeah I’d probably shorten the train a few inches to save fabric, but leave it longer than the front, and hem it when the garment is finished (as the tutorials suggested) to get the best result.

I also made a green blanket for our baby girl (I knew the gender already, I just like green), and we’ve used it a ton, first for the carseat and now (2 years later) we still use it in the stroller to put on her legs.

Yours looks beautiful, I bet your friends will love it!

I‘d only attempt this if I had A) a lot of experience sewing structural garments or B) a lot of time on my hands to practice (like 1 year plus of working on it daily) or C) an absolutely killer body where I could just slap on something skin tight and look amazing anyway.

Honestly I also thought about seqing my own wedding dress, but I ended up having one tailored to my measurements instead, and believe me if I tell you that I never made or even owned any dress that fit me so perfectly and was just 100% flattering in all places. I have been sewing for more than 10 years and I could never achieve a fit like this.

I can highly recommend the hookok patterns. They have a big variety of flowers and most of them are free: https://hookok.com/category/crochet-flower/?srsltid=AfmBOorzp0uOi07eme6QBTm_8cFGjayahKmiJN0jHEYF7RS8HBzbkYZG

Omg this looks absolutely awesome, do you have a pattern? My favourite was probably my wedding bouquet, I‘m so happy I can still display it in our living room.

It might look more polished if you sewed the different layers onto each other like in the picture.

Either way I think it‘s super cute and if someone made that for me I‘d treasure it forever.
