Love that you are making your wedding dress. You are obviously putting in all the prep to make it just perfect. I wish you all the best for the day. Just remember, it's sometimes the little things that don't go quite right on the day which end up making the day memorable and really special. I was so wound up before my wedding day, wanting everything to be perfect. In hindsight that was just silly. My mother made my dress. Bear in mind this was in the early 1980's, so very much inspired by Princess Di's dress (puffy, off the shoulder boned bodice with a multi layered skirt). We went off to London in high excitement to buy material. The wind was slightly taken out of our proverbial sails when we realised how much our planned silk organdie would cost. We could have afforded it (just), but I said to my Mum that I thought it would be too extravagant. Having seen the Vogue pattern we had decided upon, the very kind and professional gent in the (high end) fabric store in South Moulton Street suggested a crisp cotton organdie. What an inspired suggestion! Given it is such a light but stable fabric it gave the finished gown a lightness and structure it wouldn't otherwise have had. The outer skirt just captured the light. I'll never forget the first time I tried the (partly finished) gown on. That emotional 'catch' in the throat as I realised what a stunner it was going to be. The more expensive silk organdie that we'd originally planned just wouldn't have had the same impact.
Congrats on 4 years Jess! It's been amazing to watch you learn so much in that time. Sew Yellow For Endo is definitely a massive achievement. I think you should do some 'pouch of Douglas' merch next year 😂
