Anyway as the date is looming I thought that I'd best consider my options for suitable attire. I don't want to spend a fortune it's not that sort of wedding, so up until today I presumed I'd just head off to Monsoon or Coast and buy a floaty number off the peg. Having checked out their websites I know that there are a number of floaty beach wedding dresses that would be suitable.
Mmmm, today however I ordered some gorgeous Anna Maria Horner Little Folks Voile from Seamstar, one of my favourite online fabric stores. The colourways I had decided upon some time ago when planning my little girls outfit for the wedding. I am going to make her the Emma outfit from Patty Young's Modkid Boutique collection using Anna Maria Horner fabrics. As I'd not checked out AMH's blog for a while this fabric purchase prompted me to head over there and it was then that I saw it.......
Well what do you think? I'm thinking this would make a great wedding dress - I'm not feeling love for the colourway shown but what if I made it in cream with just a coloured bodice and straps and a few coloured zigzags around the bottom??
I'll leave you all to ponder on that one, I'm sure I'll be having sleepless nights about it so why shouldn't you??!! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
Hiya - I've just come across from The Linen Cat. I hadn't seen the AMH maxi dress either but I think it would be stunning as a wedding dress. What a great idea especially for a beach wedding. And the Emma outfit for your little girl will be so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have a family wedding to go to this summer and, possibly, a ball (how grand!) and have been worrying about the cost of a dress I'd really like. This may just be the solution. Juliex
I think it will make a lovely wedding dress, really lovely and especially for a Florida beach wedding!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read what you decide and to eventually see (if you make) the results.

What a great idea. I think it would look great in all cream fabrics and the detail being in the zig zag design (with perhaps some slight variation in the fabric). This is such a cool idea, I'm really impressed.
ReplyDeletewow, I think it would be great :-)
ReplyDeleteall that colour across the bottom would really pop in all the sunshine and it'll be super cheerful!

PS deco tape is just sellotape, but much prettier!
