Jen's Wedding Dress


Here's a little look at the wedding dress I hesitantly altered and highlighted a section of in an earlier post. I just love this dress. Jen is my neighbor and I've known her since she was about 10 years old. She has grown into a very stylish young lady and I think the 1950's fitted silhouette looks fabulous on her. We put our heads together to come up with the style of the little cropped jacket and I made it out of ivory silk shantung. It seems a perfect compliment to this beautiful dress.

  2. I love the dress and I seriously LOVE that tiny waist! It's really a 1/2 century since I've seen such a tiny waist in MY mirror. They're a beautiful couple. And how did you finally discover the shirring was attached?

  3. Gail, I love this dress and I can't believe that Jenn is also the same Jenn that I work with. I can't wait to see more of the pictures. She looks great in anything that she wears but you did a fab job on the dress,
