Congratulations, Mr & Mrs Carl D
Yesterday was Shaina’s wedding day. I hope it was sunny in western MA; it was grey and chilly here. Either way, though, she and her sweetheart are now Mr & Mrs and a long happy life we wish them.
Here’s Shaina’s dress as of late May. It wasn’t quite finished, but you had to look hard to see the unfinished bits. There are 11 pieces all together, not counting the accessories. I showed you details of the ribbon roses several
weeks ago, but promised her I wouldn’t post the whole thing until after the ceremony, on the off chance that Carl might check the blog.
Here’s the back view, with the gorgeous train and lace veil. Of course she made the whole thing herself. She and Wendy spent some time figuring out how to handle the pleated and piped petticoat hem, which was half an inch too long.

Beautiful dress! I’m sure she was a stunningly lovely bride.

P.S. Pleated and piped? I hope they went after that 1/2 inch at the waist line rather than at the hem!

Shaina,
That’s a beautiful dress you created from the bolts of silk and pieces of ribbon I saw at its beginnings. I hope you had a lovely day with many wonderful years to come, and I hope we get to see some pictures of the day at some point, too!
