Wow this is beautiful, congratulations. I also used Susan Khalje's "Bridal Couture"book which I borrowed for 6 months from my local library. I also could not have made my daughter a beautiful wedding gown without it. Susan is so such an inspiration.

What an amazingly beautiful wedding dress for your daughter! It does have a flavor of both princesses in the top and bottom, the best of both. So many patterns to combine, a true labor of love. Beautiful bride!

We determined it was the perfect "princess dress." Princess Kate on the bodice, and Princess Diana on the bottom. Or, if you want to be like my sons - just call it an amazing mullet dress:)

This was for my daughter - my kids gave me a "rapper" name when the first grandchild came:) The technique of making the muslin really worked. I fit the muslin 2 months before the wedding as my daughter is 14 hours away from me. It fit like a glove!

Fabulous and fun! If your profile name reflects the relationship, your granddaughter has an heirloom to pass along.
