Went in for measurements!

So about a month and a half ago I found a dress online and fell in love with the back piece. I was able to get in touch with the designer and get an estimate on how much it would be to have it ordered.

I was prepared for the sticker price to be high but wow was it out of budget.

My town has a local seamstress who makes absolutely stunning custom pieces, so I went to her to see if we could achieve a similar result without totally copying the designer.

It went great! And came way closer to budget, especially considering it’s going to be made just for me and I’m so excited!


This is the rough sketch she gave me and I can’t wait to get started on it all!
First fitting with just the inner lining is in august! 😬😬Went in for measurements! 1
