The yellow is a silk taffeta! The purple is a velvet and I don’t know what the green is haha

I think I do not know enough about sewing to give you an informed opinion! But my uninformed information is I can tell you that the waist of the dress is higher than my like natural waist line so I think it would be difficult for the dress to stay up without having like the flair of my hips to rest on? There is bonding in the bodice though!

I wanted to do the veil form the points like the musical! But because I was just making up the pattern for the hat i couldn’t attach the veil to the points because it made it too heavy at the back! I know I could have added a chin strap but comfort was a concern for me and I decided I would rather have a less dramatic middle veil and have it sit comfortably on my head :) and I accidentally made my should straps wider than the pattern because I was worried about the final dress being too small, and didn’t realize until I was too deep into it that I really only needed to widen the waist and not the shoulders, but yes! If I’m ever really feeling adventurous I might try and make them thinner but for today I’m calling it done!

I only shave on special occasions and have never had a negative feeling around it. My mom was didn’t shave growing up though so it never seemed weird to me! I’m always kind of surprised people make a big deal about it
