Wedding Dress Part 4: Completing the Dress


Dresses, Handmade Wardrobe, Wedding Dress

ASSEMBLING THE DRESS I sewed the bodice and skirt together, and then inserted the invisible zipper before attaching the petticoat. If I remember correctly, I wanted to deal with less fabric and bulk when I was inserting the zipper. And the zipper didn’t get in the way when inserting the petticoat. Zipper When I was […]

Part 1: Wedding Dress Design & Intro


Dresses, Handmade Wardrobe, Wedding Dress

I knew when we got engaged that I would make my wedding dress. I have been tackling clothing projects since February 2018, but had no couture experience whatsoever! And we got engaged in June, so I had a short deadline! But I very much enjoy a challenge! And I was confident enough in my skills […]

It's warming up in Colorado, but I have been weari It's warming up in Colorado, but I have been wearing this non-stop over the winter! I decided to make a maternity Cascade Duffle Coat bc longer projects keep me motivated to sew! I haven't had the energy to sew during pregnancy (and I sew for my job anyway so I at least got my fix). Aaaaand I have been in pjs/ leggings in quarantine anyway, so why make things that wont fit for long.... BUT my normal winter coat was getting tight in january, so I started this pattern and remembered how much I like making coats. I like all the details, allllll the many pieces, and the fun accent lining! I love the toggles on this too!

I made a straight size 16 (I am probably a 12 or 14 normally; and I muslined to double check) and I am hoping it still fits after baby. Either way, I enjoy the process so much that I don't even care! I made it on a whim, but it turned out way better than I imagined!

I also inter lined the body and sleeves with flannel, which helped bc the fabric was a loose weave.
