After much deliberation, I am coming closer to picking a design for my dress! I have two patterns picked out, one for the ceremony and one for the reception, and yes, I know I might be crazy but I do think I want two dresses. I think maybe I can use the sparkly belt with both to tie the looks together. I may still change my mind, but I do really like these both.
I love the 1930's bias cut design of this ceremony dress pattern. I was thinking of using satin for the bodice and through to the hips, and then a flowy silk chiffon for the full skirt so it will move nicely when I walk. I am not sure if I like the bodice part of this design though (B or C), its kind of boring. I would like an open back, but the front could be more interesting, I think. What do you all think about the top of this dress? Would something with cap sleeves be nicer? I do think this will look super nice with the belt I am planning.
A shorter
reception dress will let me dance so much more comfortably! I plan on dancing a lot :) And for a reception dress, I totally love this pattern! I think a white on cream brocade, of a substantial thickness, would be lovely! I would want to use horsehair bias tape for the skirt's bottom seam so that the skirt looks full, and maybe a tulle 1/2 slip underneath. Do you think this might not look so good with the belt though? I think the belt may be too wide, and how would satin (assuming the belt will be made of satin) look with a brocade dress? And...is the dress a little too skimpy looking? It is strapless, I would hate to have to pull it up all night!
As for a different bodice for the ceremony gown, I really love this dress that was designed and created by
Janey-jane. I really like the cowl draping with an open back, and the twisted front. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make a front twist like that, but the back looks do-able.
