At Last!

We finally have pictures of two gowns we're working on! Well, at least pictures of the process. Final pictures of the gowns will be posted after the weddings in July. :)
First, Anna's gown:
Anna wanted a hippie gown, which we love! This is the basic structure of the gown. Several things have been added - lace, another layer of fabric over the skirt, hand embroidery, and Anna decided to change the halter strap to shoulder straps for more comfort.

And Renee's gown (sorry for the poor focus):


Renee's gown first went to the seamstress for the construction of the structure of the dress. Then Holly began working on draping the outside on a dress form. The outside of the dress is draped with silk - very elegant! As you can see, the draping process took some work and some experimenting. The finished gown is magnificent. We can't wait for you to see it! Check back for finished pictures of Renee's gown on July 7th!
