| my daughter's dress |
The dress that I have been making for my daughter's 1st Communion is finally finished! After many nights of thinking and planning I started looking around online to see if I saw anything that I liked or would like to implement into her dress. I found something that I loved and figured that I would see if I could come up with something similar. So with much stress about cutting the beautiful silk my grandmother sent me, since I was pattern free, I went ahead. Many nights and a lot of "come try this on...it will just take a minute" later it's done. I did make some changes so it would be just what I wanted. I am very pleased with how it came out and I think as you can see it does look very much like the photo I liked.
Traditionally communion dresses are pure white and as you can see this one is not. The veil that she is going to wear was my great grandmother's and it's not white. That being the case the dress couldn't be white. My grandmother chose the fabric and while it looks pink in the photos it's more of a champagne/ivory color but I will say that it does look pink at times. I just love the color and can't wait for the big day.
