I'm so excited to share my dress and veil I had custom made and the process behind it for those contemplating doing the same. I found my dressmaker on Yelp and met with her back in January. We went over my Pinterest board and my vision. I wanted something very elegant and flowy with lots of movement and beautiful high quality fabric. I wanted lace and 3/4 sleeves. She sketched a design, measured me and then recommended I go to San Francisco to a well known fabric store for the best selection and variety of fabric. Instead of the usual dress shopping, my BMs and I made a day trip in May to S.F. and had fun exploring this 4 story fabric store, picking out the silk chiffon, imported lace, beaded applique, veil and lace for the veil. Then I officially began the process of having the dress made in October. The dressmaker started with the lining to get the overall fit and shape. I went twice for that part. The third time she had added the skirt and we worked on adding the lace bodice.....
