Around the wrist small pearls are fastened, kind of like a bracelet but easier to wear.įor these dresses I made full mockups in cotton fabric to get a feeling for the pattern drafting and models. The lacing is made with silk thread, the same as I did the lacing holes with, and also the white freshwaterpearl belt. I didn’t want another layer underneath the silk dress, so the thin silk sleeves are just lose sleeves, attached by the arm hole on the dress. The sleeves are unlined, instead I have the thin silk sleeves that is shown underneath. Here you can see some of the effect the petticoat has making the dress skirt stand out a bit instead of hanging down. The silk fabric is a taffeta, and even if that quality is a lot sturdier than other silks, it still needed to be lined for a better draping skirt and a smoother upper body. Over these I have the silk dress, cream-white and lined on the inside with a really thin wool muslin fabric. It never shows, but it adds important stability to the cream silk dress so the skirt drapes the correct way. Over that I also wore a linen petticoat with a strengthened hemline. The linen shift is made tight fitted, with thin shoulder straps and a supportive body, and then a loose skirt. A linen shift, a cream-white silk dress and the velvet silk over dress. I made three different layers for the wedding outfit. I am not going to talk about that today I am going to show you my wedding dresses! Life, dead and bills happens to everyone, as the saying goes. I guess it has been quite the autumn and winter here, I really never post about those parts of life, but I like everyone else have tough periods in life. I kind of have a bad conscience about it too, and I really try to work through all of my drafts, notes and old photos. I am sooo behind writing about my different projects.
