Courtesy of Elegant Musings, some tutorials on making your own petticoats for your vintage wear--including, naturally, your tea-length wedding dress.
Is anyone out there making their own wedding dress? I have to admit, I was sorely tempted, but my sewing skills are a little... rusty, to say the least. It's one of those things I keep wanting to get back into, but I'm thinking starting with small projects might be the way to go. I remember way back in the day, I made a bridesmaid dress for a friend who was in a bridal party who'd been given a pattern. I still remember making the muslin for it (I had no idea how to do alterations for someone petite, given that I'd only ever sewn for 5'7", voluptuous me), and how I got incredibly nervous cutting into that royal blue, expensive, expensive dupioni silk. Too much pressure!
But making a crinoline would definitely have its advantages for the crafty tea-length bride--you can control the volume of the poof, the length, the colour---you just have to have room for the miles and miles of netting you'll be dealing with!
