Today I wanted to show you guys the dress I made for my best friends wedding (I know enough of the movie references already). I am the Matron of Honor in this awesome shindig and could not be more excited for her or her fiance. When Joni and I first started discussing wedding plans the thought popped into my head that I should make my attire for her wedding. (I know super ballsy of me but hey that's how I roll) Luckily Joni is awesome and played along with my little plan even though I am sure she was holding her breath that this would turn out well. I mean I would have been if someone who is only a marginally good seamstress got it in her head that she would make her dress for my wedding. Really I am surprised she didn't tell me no. (I would have.)
But she is awesome and appeased me. So I first scoured pinterest for an idea for said dress. That's when I came across this and this. So from then on out I was convinced I was making an infinity dress and that's just what I did. I will spare you the tutorial because those two links lead to amazing tutorials that explain much better than I ever could. I will however show you my finished product:
Sorry for the not so great photos. My photographer seems to be busy with an internship or something. |
What do you think? I am in love! I cannot wait to wear this for Joni's big day! Now I am off to find purple shoes to go with it. (Can you guess what the wedding colors are?) Judging by the amount of time this project took and how well it turned out I think my sewing skills are greatly improving. My next feat will be the dreaded pattern sewing. Wish me luck!
