White Satin Empire Waist Wedding Gown - Anda








Empire waist off white satin eco friendly wedding dress with golden champagne floral details on the bodice, halter neckline and white filmy trim on back neckline and front slit. Ankle length to show off pretty shoes with individually hand pieced champagne hemline trim.

Dancing was always a favorite thing, but one dance she wanted to never end..this dance she danced now with the one she loved. She wanted to go on, holding each other, swaying to the music of life, kissing each other's hurts away and always near, near enough to hear each other's thoughts, almost.

I found this pretty hollywood glamour style line dress with a complicated halter back and simple empire waistline. It was new but was somewhat plain, so I brought it home to recycle and make prettier. I added golden champagne satin floral trim along one side of the halter neckline and wrapped it down below the bust on the other side for a stunning accent. I simplified the halter neckline and made it so it just slips over your head. I added a piece of filmy raw cut recycled trim for accent on the back halter neckline piece and more on the back neckline of the dress. These hang down in a flattering accent for the back of the gown. I slit the front of the gown to knee height and added more filmy accent pieces along with a spray of raw champagne chiffon. I added a piece of the same chiffon to show inside the slit and to fall below the slit hem for a flowing effect. Then to finish the gown, I added an individually pieced seashell type trim in a pale champagne recycled trim that looks adorable with pretty shoes in the ankle length hemline. Each of them has been individually designed, arranged and attached. The gown is fully lined and is bias cut for great drape and beauty and a tiny bit of extra give.

Alternative DIY Wedding Dress






I had fun constructing this fun very different wedding dress. I began with a simple white denim sheath with a touch of spandex. I cut and added and encouraged fraying! I gave it trim from four different fabrics with more and less body. The last I used as dangling panels which I washed to give it a dreadlocks style twisting and fraying. The base panel has a filmy layer and the little flower at the neckline is made of the same filmy fabric. I was being green and alternative! Woo! What I like about the dress is that you get the beauty of a traditional dress with a tiny little edge. That makes me happy !
