I bought my wedding dress for $75 and tailored it myself. It's not perfect but what do y'all think?
I made an opera coat, bejeweled bodysuit and chandelier headpiece
Flared and extended jeans which were too short and tight
My sherbert bubblegum sunrise sunset marigold pants
Hand-woven leather top - Finished
Apparently I can't go anywhere without sewing an outfit for the occasion...so I made matching ones🖤🤍
I sewed matching dresses for me and my friend
New machine, first finished garment
I am quite pleased with my wedding guest dress
Gifted my wife a sewing class last summer, one year later she’s making custom swimsuits
