Reassembeling the wedding dress

Now when the wedding has passed, I have time to show you what my dress looked like on the inside. :)

I added the tull on the underlying lining in two layers. Thanks to the dressing doll, I needled the fabric in place on the lining and sew it in place while hanging.


I sealed the lace in place with a few some support stiches before I sew the lining and the over layer in dupion silk together so that the lace wouldn't slip. This was just a few days before the wedding, so I didn't take the time to take more pictures. :)


At the top I found a channel formed in between the seams, perfekt for a supporting ribbon at the top of the dress. The ribbon is hidden but was used to secure that the strapless dress wouldn't slide down to much when walking. I made the last fix just a few hours before it was time to go to church... :) I guess that is the bad thing with making my own dress, there is something to fix all to the end, and I wish a had a longer moment to just sit and enjoy everything P and K had prepared a bit more! (You are great!!!!)
