Wedding Dress
What’s the number one item on the agenda of a bride to be? You guessed it – locating the perfect wedding dress. After all, clothes maketh the man, no? Going by that old adage, there is nothing more important for a bride than looking good for her wedding day.
Your wedding dress can be of many types of fabrics. But season is one factor that can affect the style and cut of your wedding dress, along with the fabric. Late spring, summer and early autumn weddings call for lightweight fabrics such as chiffon or satin or silk, while late fall, winter and early spring call for heavier fabrics such as taffeta, brocade or velvet. You don’t necessarily have to stick to one fabric for the entire dress. Many designers have multiple layers of tulle overlaying the satin or base fabric of the wedding dress, especially over the skirts.
But are you unable to get the wedding gown of your dreams from any of the bridal boutiques and the designer options are proving too expensive? No problem! Since you know what you want (or you should know what you want after doing a good deal of research online), make a sketch of your perfect wedding dress. You don’t necessarily have to be an artist like Caroline Shotton. A rough, but detailed, sketch of the dress would be great.
Look out for a seamstress or tailor in your area. Meet with all the probable candidates and run through their works. Also pick their brain for their own ideas. You never know, one of their ideas might fit your desires!
It is important for you to know that making a dress from scratch can be an expensive proposition compared to buying one off the shelf. But if you are game for the amount, just go ahead and express who you really are through your wedding dress!
