A vision in silk

I've always loved sewing, so when a girlfriend mentioned that she needed to find a dressmaker to help alter her sister's wedding dress into a confirmation dress for her daughters up and coming church service I jumped at the opportunity to at least have a look and see if I could make something of the dress.

As it turned out, it was a simple alteration and all that needed doing were the shoulders taking up a little, the hemline going from long to knee length and using the then left over skirt fabric to make a reversible 1950s inspired shrug.....

I do have to thank google for my shrug pattern...click here for the pdf pattern link

She looked gorgeous don't you agree?
