Wedding Dress Pattern

[eastofthemoon]

I think I found the pattern for my wedding dress. I looked at a local bridal shop yesterday, but the dresses were far too sparkling and glittering for my taste. (I've seen tiaras with less sparkle.) Plus, I want a dress with sleeves and of course NONE of the dresses there had any.

So, since I wanted a dress with sleeves I decided to go it would be easier to have it made. A friend of my mother is a professional seamstress, so finding a person won't be a problem.

I've been looking at sewing patterns for the last few months and I found this one.

We can easily make a couple of alterations, such as to tie a ribbon around the waist, having the top and skirt match and the length of the sleeves. Anyway, I think this pattern is me and the best part is the website is having a sale on the bridal patterns. ^_^ Talk about perfect timing.

I hear you on wedding dresses though. There are actually a lot of LDS-specific bride stores anymore since it's nearly impossible to find a modest dress otherwise. I'm all for having sleeves...

I might have to try one of those LDS shops/websites if I ever get married. Because it doesn't look like the sleeveless/strapless/backless fad is going away anytime soon. :P

I say we start a rebellion against the sleeveless/strapless/backless look! VIVA SLEEVES!! XD

Just to give you an idea on how many there are out there's here's a basic Google search. I used to drive past an LDS wedding store all the time when I lived in Idaho, and there are certainly a lot of them in Utah... I just hope they allow for mail order since I don't plan on driving that far when the time comes! ;)
