It was so much fun working on .antoine ‘s wedding dress! We made a ton of design changes to it (one of my favourite things to do!) first we took up the straps, the we took in the bust at the princess seam. Completely reshaped the neckline (it was a high neck originally but we changed it to a V neck and it completely changed the vibe of the dress 🙌. I removed a cream coloured tulle from the skirt, and added a mesh “lining” to the top so it wasn’t as transparent. The biggest design change is I made custom mesh + lace appliqué sleeves! The original straps sat too close to her neck so I had to custom make a shoulder piece that attached to the straps and laid perfectly on the end of her shoulder. And then I could properly attach the sleeve to the shoulder. And the last thing I did was do a 3-point American (over) bustle. She just looked SO stunning!! When making customizations to a wedding dress, my job is to make sure all the changes look cohesive like this one🩷
