What was your inspiration?

Meg, my oldest grand daugther asked me to make her dress, who would turn a grand daughter down, especially when she knew i made her mom's wedding gown! i fell in love with the lace!

What are you most proud of?

i totally redid the hem, it was so long, that i decided to 'ruch the lace and raise the hem on the undergown- she said it made her feel like a princess! and i winged the veil, it turned out pretty well!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

give yourself plenty of time, formalwear takes a long time to get just right!

Very well done. I really like the way that you custimised the hem, it really added so much to the beautiful gown. Very nice job. Thank you for sharing.
