The wedding was wonderful
I'm getting married in May (yay
) )
And I decided to make my own dress. Well, not actually a dress, but corset and skirt.
I looked at many dresses, but did not see any that was 'it'. Plus, I'm not a couture seamstress, so something simple would be best.
I started with looking for red fabric, and found this gorgeous raw silk. It already had an interesting structure, so further embellishments were not necessary.
I based the pattern on a previous corset I made, but made the front and back higher. Here are some pics of the process:
When the corset was practically done, I tried it on and took some pictures. I was very pleased. It gave my bust the exact uplift that I wanted :p
But when I saw my back on the pictures I panicked. My top backfat was bulging over the top when I stood up nicely straight. Not what I want to see on my weddingpictures.
And I’m more the skinny type, so it’s not something that would get solved by losing a couple of pounds .. .
So I decided to make a bolero. I did not want to compromise the design of the corset with the pointy fronts, so I made the bolero with this in mind. I’m very pleased
Of course I couldn’t ask my fiancée to take pictures so, I had to put the camera on a stack of books to take pics of the back .
cc are welcome
