My Wedding Dress March 2008




Unlike the dress that I made for Gail my Wedding dress was thrown together the week before we left for Canada. The shift dress on the left was purchased from Toast on Westborne Grove in London. This simple natural linen shift formed the foundation of my outfit. The antique lace and beading on the right were collected from Portobello Market.













I then experimented with draping the lace over the shift dress until I had got the shape that I wanted, from that I cut a pattern for a simple lace tunic to sit on top of the Linen shift .


The finished lace shift complete with mock Canadian tracker boots from Fat Face.

Curls and flowers going into my hair.





My Bouquet of roses and orchids


The final outfit complete with my Granny's fur stole, kindly sent by my Aunt who lives in Canada to our hotel. Beautiful flowers sent by my family to our hotel. Along with Champagne sent by close friends
Snowboarding Honeymoon!
