Sewing a Spring Wedding Guest Dress 🪡 🌸 ｜Project Diary

Back in March my husband and I attended the wedding of two friends and I made my own dress to wear to it! This project involved some tricky techniques including using silk organza as underlining, hacking two different patterns to create a custom dress, and adding boning, so I thought it’d be interesting to film the process and share it with you! I hope you enjoy this project diary, it was satisfying to work on and it turned out really well for the event!
