Nicola’s daughter and niece were her two beautiful bridesmaids and I made them bespoke teen bridesmaid dresses. With two very different ages and figures we created design elements that could be used to link the styles together. I made both dresses are made from peacock blue silk dupion with a beaded lace back which creeps forward over the shoulders.
Ellie’s dress was made in a skater style with ivory tulle overlay on the skirt. The scalloped edging applique softened the join of skirt to bodice.
Amy’s dress was made with a fitted boat-neck bodice and shear lace-back. The skirt was a slim and straight at the front and with a fish-tail flare kicking out at the back.
I also made Nicola’s wedding dress, more pictures can be seen in Nicola’s portfolio entry.
For Sale
Nicola later donated Amy’s dress back to me at my studio (along with her own wedding dress too) and it is available for purchase as a pre-loved dress. You can visit my Etsy shop or contact me directly to buy the sample dress.
Original design sketches for the two bespoke teen bridesmaid dresses
We placed the lace that Nicola chose differently to compliment the style of each of the bespoke teen bridesmaid dresses. For the older bridesmaid we added a sheer lace panel at the back and a hint of lace on the shoulders at the front. WE did the same for the younger bridesmaid but lined with silk to be sensitive to her age. I then also used the lace around the waistline to blend the tulle with the teal colour silk above.
