Carolyn's Art Deco wedding dress
Yes, it has 21 separate panels on each half of the dress. And a couple thousand hand-sewn sequins and seed pearls and diamantes. And a feathered train. And I still can't believe I made it!

Amazing! How many hours did you spent on this?
-
-
Thank you!
As to how many hours...I didn't count, and I'd be a little scared to! Upwards of 150 - I did two complete toiles, with the 2nd one finished like a proper dress. When it comes to sewing, I'm crazy patient. Pity I don't manage it in all aspects of life ;-)

WOW! I want to make my own wedding dress. I am sure it would NOT be anything as breathtaking!

Thank you both. @Claire - I didn't go for something quite as spectacular for my own wedding dress. I just didn't have the chutzpah to carry it off!
