My Swiss-Spanish friend Alicia recently asked if I would make her wedding dress. I couldn't turn her down even though we were short for time and I would have to ship it off by the end of July to her home in Australia. The fabric is super-fine organic cotton jersey with a slip to go underneath it so it's not see through. The cut is A-line but I'm slowly shaping the waistline it by doing some smocking with plant-dyed embroidery thread. Here's the progress thus far:
The smocking begins.
The smocking continues.
The pieces are cut.
The neckline and cap sleeves are hand-stitched.
The smocking begins.
The smocking continues.
