Repro Wedding Dresses

[dahliaoleander]

Give me the sites of any repro wedding dresses.

I know I saw one in particular. They had a shoot by a plane if I remember correctl. I just cant remember the name of the site. :eusa_doh:

And any one have the pattern for this?

when i was 17, i was heavily into the victorian era, and had a very clear vision of what i wanted my wedding dress to look like.So when the time came to buy my dress, i knew exactly what i wanted.Now 17 years later, i look at the pictures and say, what the heck was i thinking!!lol It would interesting to see if you have the same taste when your special day comes Sorry, i have no links, your post just made me think of that.

Olive, I knew I had seen that dress very recently but couldn't find it on all my usual sites - and that's because it was the one you linked that I stumbled across. :eusa_doh:

Sorry not to be more helpful!

Start collecting old wedding photos

You can always have a dress reproduced!

 

[Miss Sis]

Exactly! It's not a difficult pattern and I'm sure a good dressmaker could make one from the picture.

This isn't repro it's vintage but looks similar to that pattern you posted:

I think the Repo of a wedding dress would be a good idea!

I was thinking of doing something like that for when the DAY comes.. LOL
I have 2 more years and i think ill be ready... LOL

The site I'm looking for had I believe repro's of wedding or just formal dresses done by decade... and it was done by a woman... and one of their shoots was done by an airplane. I can't for the life of me find that site.

I saw the link here but cant find it!

Thank you so much for this site! I just got engaged and am going to be on the look out for patterns as I plan to make my dress and possibly the dresses of my bridesmaids.

No, sorry. It was a site that sold the dresses. the shot by the plane was of a model modeling the dress.

BTW: What kind of fabric can veils be made of?

Despite my not having found the site:

Late Term Congrats TSB! Many Happy Returns!

You'll make a beautiful bride and a beautiful Mrs.

Congrats TheSwingingBee!!

Veils are made of tulle. It's normally polyester or nylon now, but you can find silk or cotton tulle- at about $100 a yard. (yipes!)

I'm still making my dress and I'm getting married in... oh... five days. I'd say hire someone to make it or buy something vintage. Would save a lot of stress.

 

[retrogirl1941]

Im going to secound what Lauren said, Have someone make it for you! Even if you can sew! I made my wedding dress and it was waaayyy... too much stress to deal with. I would have been happier if I had sent it off to my husbands grandmother. I look at it now and see every little mistake that I made.
Oh heres a picture of my dress:

The cape is vintage. I bought my veil and tiara at Davids Bridal. They were on a deep discount! The tiara looks like wax blossoms!

Ps- SwingningBee and Lauren Congrats!
