My best friend (who I met at FIT) did a little dress shopping but could not seem to find anything unique enough for her. She asked me if I'd want to possibly make a dress for her...of course! I had her meet with me and bring pictures of what she was hoping for. What she showed me is not what I expected, no wonder she wasn't happy with the bridal store selection. She wanted a...
Navy and Gold Sequin Wedding Dress!
YESSSS! I was SO excited. My mom happened to be in New York City when I was meeting with Katie to discuss her dress so I asked her to do a little swatching for me and bring me home all the navy and gold sequins she could find.
After much looking and discussing we decided to go with a slightly different design than the one I originally sketched. The top would be gold sequins and we would add a navy belt. There was no navy sequins that didn't look tacky - or that wouldn't have taken hours and hours and hours to apply and create.
Though the dress ended up being slightly different than originally planned - it turn out AMAZING! We both loved it so much and it fit her personality so well.
