My Wedding Dress - Part II

I went fabric shopping today. I found a gorgeous off-white floral burnout fabric, it would be so perfect but they don’t have enough for my dress. Then I found another fabric I liked but it wouldn’t work well with the seams on the skirt. I also need to find a buckle (preferably vintage) for the back of my dress. So here is a breakdown of my options.

1 - Go to the garment district in LA and hopefully find something there.
2 – Re-drape the skirt in a way that will work with the fabric but may end up making my butt look big.

Last week when I was at a thrift store I found a vintage late 30s early 40s wedding dress that I had planned on selling on ebay. It was absolutely filthy but after spending a weekend in the bathtub with some Biz it is clean & pretty. It is long & has a petite train so if I were to wear it I would want to cut it shorter & put new buttons on it. I think the length is a bit much for city hall. I am a little torn about cutting off the dress because it is vintage & very pretty, just not my style. So doing so would be #3

3 – Wear altered vintage dress
4 – Stop stressing about the dress & just go buy one

If I don’t end up wearing the one I already designed, I will still make it out of a more casual fabric because I think it will be a really cute summer dress. : )
