This dress was an original design
loosely based on a summer dress that the bride already owned. The
fabric for the dress came from the bride's sister's wedding dress.
Made from ivory silk dupioni, it has blue lace edging and
straps, and a small train.

This bride had already bought her dress, but needed
some size alterations. She also wanted to be able to swing dance in
the evening, and would not be be able to with the large skirt and train that
her dress had.
For her, I detached the dress from the bodice and
made a new waistband for the skirt, to keep the look of the gown the same,
but make it possible for her to remove the skirt. I also altered the
size of the bodice and reconstructed the bodice beading where the alteration
took place. Then, I made a knee-length full silk skirt for her to wear with
the original gown bodice for dancing at the reception.
