Wedding Dress Emergency

What do you do when you ordered your dress months ago and the week before the wedding you are dieting like crazy and miserable? With the zipper 4 inches down the dress fit wonderfully. The zipper with the tang down stayed securely in place, so we could work with that. When I googled for help, the answer was create a corset tie in replacement for zipper. Instead I made a triangle fill-in, bowed it for camoflauge, used bra extension package and sewed it in at an angle...so bride could get in and out and felt comfortable enough to give hugs. Everyone said it looked great, intentional, beautiful. Congratulations!


I've been making some festive bow ties for the season! Love this red on red damask print. So handsome!
