The initial style idea:

A summery strappy lightweight wedding dress style with a low back, and (as typical of our cuts) with good hold in the bust. Crossed straps do the job very well, I was looking for a new way to do this.

Here the straps create a diamond – great fit, cute detail, with the back very open. I made the pattern, fine-tuned the dress looks good in a mock up!

We made a first prototype dress – it gapes in various places… not sure the waist seam is at the right height? All kind of looks a bit messy.

So I’ve redone the wedding dress pattern and made a new version. Comparing the two..

Prefer the first dress style, the second I made is a no. Maybe the original top just needs a better fit?

Trying it on a bride. 

Back to the drawing board.

Finished the new wedding dress style!

The back is stunning!

Seeing the wedding dress in a consultation.

Love the lightness the straps give it.

Fancy trying it on? My first wedding dress is a size 10, though I will be making an 8 in the next two weeks for our photo shoot. Size 12 will be ready mid November. If you’re wondering what size you’ll fit, check our FAQ page for specs.

Our consultations are complimentary, you’ll always meet with the designer personally.

This wedding dress will be priced a $2590 inclusive of GST. If you’d like to add a lace overlay of your choice, this is possible at an extra $500. In case you haven’t heard each sale sponsors a girls’ education for a year.

See you soon! Anna
