Wedding dress reveal

Hello dear readers.  This is the wedding dress reveal.  While I designed and made the dress, it was beaded by many hands and the last fitting was accomplished with my daughter Nicole's help.


We hand placed every single motif on the dress.  This is half of the skirt filling my 17' living room.


The under layer--a sparkle organza that shed, a lot, everywhere.






The picture that decided how we were going to make the back of the dress

'Oh Cr... I lost a beading needle somewhere under here!'

Beading, beading, beading


Details of the back trim and zipper




It has pockets!


I made a simple pearl edged veil to complete the outfit from the leftovers of the lace netting.
