Mint green bias cut satin bridesmaids dresses for Katherine

bride and bridesmaids art deco wedding

1930’s style bias cut bridesmaids dresses in soft peppermint satin. Criss-cross seaming, cowl necklines and necklace back detail.  The bridesmaid dresses I made perfectly complimented the dress I’d made for the bride and suited the age and figure of both grown-up and teen.

I also made Katherine’s wedding dress click here to see her dress entry.

The dresses came with an unusual side ‘hook-up’, requested by the bride. This meant the length could be pulled up and out of the way for dancing later in the day.

How am I supposed to keep tidying, when there's so much sewing to do?

Sometimes I think a messy shop helps my creativity flow better, and sometimes I feel the complete opposite!

Either way, it's an endless battle 😂

Are you the kind of person who needs things to be tidy in order to work, or are you at home in a little bit of mess?
To me, a bride who choses a colourful wedding dress is the kind of person that brightens up a room when they walk into it. They're the kind of person where people around them can't help but smile. And what better way of embodying that than by bringing more colour into your special day?

I don't know about you, but as a seamstress (and generally visual person) I'm big on colour. Just seeing the perfect shade of buttercup yellow, or soothing lavender can lift my spirits and make my day. And if colour can affect mood, then why not set the mood with beautiful, vibrant hues?

I loved adding bold yellows, oranges, reds and purples to bride Megan's pre-bought wedding dress. If you want to see how Megan looked on her wedding day, have a peek at this week's earlier post.

If you're interested in getting your dress dip dyed, or adding a dip dyed overskirt to your wedding outfit, check out my Etsy. You can choose up to 5 colours, in any combination that you can imagine.
Today I wanted to share something that happened in my life, and resisting becoming just another keyboard warrior.

Maybe my story will help you raise your voice too.

I'd love to hear any stories like this that you have. So, if you feel like sharing, please do!
