We did a lot of wedding dress shopping with my friend Laura a few months ago in order to find “the one”…

But between the meringue style, the out-of-price style, the synthetic style or the back-in-the-80’s style, we couldn’t find anything simple and made with natural fabric…

So came the idee of me sewing her wedding dress… well that’s the least a bridesmaid can do!

 Isn’t she gorgeous??

Pattern = Based on a Simplicity pattern (1$) – Fabric = Embroidered white cotton from Spotlight

OoooOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOooo

Cette robe de mariee m’a valu quelques nuits blanches et toutes une serie de cauchemards … mais quand je la vois si bien portee, je me dis que ca en valait la peine!

Basee sur un patron chine a 1 $, la robe est composee d’un bustier et d’un jupon long en voile de coton brode. Laura etait ravie du resultat, c’est le principal!

Qu’est ce que vous en pensez?
