Bridesmaids Edition: Champagne and Royal Blue

Hey dearies,

How are you all doing? Today I'm featuring another collection for the Bridesmaids Edition. Some brides contact me for their bridesmaids' dresses with their minds set on a design they want replicated from another bridal train. I usually have reservations about this and most times offer some of my designs instead. Some brides go along with my suggestions while some stick to their original plans which is understandable since they have their minds fixed on that design. I always tweak certain details on their chosen style so we don't have an exact replica. This was the case with the dresses in this post but I'm glad all in all that the dresses turned out pretty. I like the way the royal blue pops through the champagne lace and over it as a sash.

A quick advice to my fellow designers/tailors,one challenge I had with these fabrics was that there was a bit of struggle between the lace overlay and the lining so choose your linings carefully when working with certain fabrics.

Bridesmaids Inspiration: Grey

Hi dears,

Today's post features a grey floor length dress that can be worn by bridesmaids or the bride as a reception dress. I made it from stretchy silk satin and lace, using the lace patterns to create the details in the front and cover the satin on the sleeves. The dress is form fitting and then flows into a mermaid style with a tail behind. The dress sleeves are off-shoulder cap sleeves which allows for bold neck accessories.

Bridesmaids Edition: Peach and Mint

Hello dears,

Today's post is a follow up on bridesmaids dresses. I have previously posted on this particular wedding although the dress featured was the bride's Registry dress (see earlier post 'My Sunday Look - The Bodycon'). For the bridesmaids dresses I was initially skeptical about mixing two pastel colours; peach and mint but it turned out beautifully in the end. I made the dresses in a similar style to the bride's; lace-up bustier dresses with a sash at the waist that's tied into a bow. The sash and lace up details are in contrasting colours. A bit of sparkle is added to the dress by the silver brooch on the sash. Much of the dress' details are in the back and are shown off by the updo hairstyles worn by the bridesmaids.  

The earrings worn also compliment the dress. This dress is styled rather simply for this wedding but the boob-tube bodice provides the opportunity to wear a bold neck piece similar to the bride's. All in all, here's another happy and satisfied bride as well as bridesmaids.

Bridesmaids Edition: Coral and Gold

Hello dolls,

I hope you are all having an amazing week! I have been involved in quite a number of wedding projects and have decided to post on a couple of them and on subsequent ones. This post features a coral and gold dress made for the bridesmaids. The official wedding colours were burnt orange and champagne; we selected colours in the same family but with different hues for the bridal train.

I made a boob tube floor length dress from a stretchy silk-satin. The stretchy fabric is form fitting and clings like a second skin. It's bodice is covered with guipure lace, has a high neck in front and a cut out behind. The rest of the dress flows mermaid style with one piece in front and three pieces at the back giving it a slight tail at the hem. There's a tie-sash at the waist that provides extra detail to the style. The dress is accessorized with a gold brooch on the sash to provide that little bit of bling.

The bride and bridesmaids loved the dress. Happy clients make for a happy designer *:)
