 One of the most exciting and rewarding things we do at Sew4u is to redesign a mother's wedding gown to be worn by her daughter. We have done several gowns over the past 20 years. A few months ago we had the privilege of redesigning a mother's gown from 1978. The daughter wanted to change the gown to a short dress to be worn to her rehearsal dinner. The 1978 dress had a very traditional "leg o mutton sleeve" and an empire waistline. In the redesign of the gown we made the sleeve to be fitted, a natural waistline highlighted with lace, and the length was above the knee. We were able to "reuse" the lace in the new design. The end result, a dress treasured from 1978, now being worn in 2015 for another joyous occasion. Happy mom! Happy daughter! Also-to add to the look, the bride is wearing cowgirl boots with the "new" dress for the rehearsal dinner. Awesome! |    |
