Charlotte your wedding dress is just so beautiful, stunning in fact.  Out of curiosity I see glimpses of your dress stand through the dress, and it looks as if it is patterned roses? - any chance we can have a photo of the naked stand please, and did you make the cover for this?

It's a Bootstrap custom-size dress form. It was a proper pain in the bum to make if I'm totally honest, but totally worth it, especially for lockdown self-fitting purposes. I have a very short back waist measurement, so find it very difficult to adjust/pad standard forms to my size.

Thanks Charlotte - it is such a pretty cover so much nicer than the usual covers.  So glad it is useful for you especially now with all the wedding clothes to make and fit.  Keep up the good work.

Pictures of ME IN MY DRESS!

I am very happy with it apart from the back button bands not sitting straight. I have a slight adjustment to make on the shoulder seams, which I hope will help, and I will experiment with different types of boning. Again, that will have to wait until I have someone to button me in (October, when my mum visits). Worst case scenario solution is lowering the back neck, but I hope it won't come to that. It was fine on the toile, but I think the tulle is just not strong enough to hold itself up.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Absolutely stunning.  I was worried those bridesmaids dresses were too pretty, but they have no hope of outshining that dress of beauty.

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."
