Dress Progress.....




Well here's the next stage in the re-made wedding dress. The original bodice

(lower) was strapless and was made for a "busty" Twiggy. The dress is a size 1 or 3 -who cares when it's that small!!


Anyway, my mom is constructing a new bodice with slight capped sleeves(not on yet) and rounded neckline.


Finding the right color fabric and tulle was a challenge. You fabric hoarders will be happy to hear that that old stash does come in handy! This tulle was tucked away in a box and is probably the same age as the original wedding dress it will be on.

And now~ the dress(before bodice is attatched) at the first fitting of the two pieces,old and new, together!
