42+ hours, a few late nights, and so much detail work later… this one was truly a labor of love 🤍✨
This gown alone took 42 hours, plus 15 hours on the bridesmaid dress—and every bit of it shows in the final result.
Here’s what went into bringing this vision to life:
✨ Wedding Dress Work
Complex hem (full lace pick-up, hemmed, then every bit of lace hand-sewn back into place)
Bra cups added for structure & support
6 lines of boning with channels for a fully supported bodice
3 bustle points for functionality and movement
Waist stay added for stability
Complex shoulder take-up for proper fit
✨ Bridesmaid Dress Work
Lining layer hem (2 layers)
Chiffon layer hem
Modesty ruffle addition
B***d bodice side take-in
Skirt side take-in
Clear straps added
Button closure added to replace zipper (6 buttons)
The hand sewing, lace work, and detail finishing on this project alone were no joke—but this is exactly the kind of transformation that makes it all worth it.
Bittersweet wrapping up another beautiful piece… but also very ready for some sleep 😅💫
