Even if you are having your wedding dress made
Despite being poor, the family kept beautiful traditions. In their free time, the mother and her daughters, Maria’s sisters, would embroider. Therefore, the walls of the house were decorated with handkerchieves with intricate pictures on them up. This would make their home cosy. There was no other material in their house, but linen. They would spin and weave it themselves, which helped them out of complete poverty. The mother would make dresses and shirts for the elder daughters, whereas Maria, the youngest, would be left with second hand clothes. She would look at her sisters and cry, asking her mother to make her a dress and embroider it with pictures of lambs, ladybirds and butterflies. Mrs. Helen felt sorry for her youngest daughter and having looked at a piece of newly woven and bleached material she’s finally decided to make her a new dress, which would be embroidered by her sisters. The women worked for thee nights, whilst Maria joined in sitting on the floor and making herself a new doll out the remaining scraps. The women worked, sang and chatted together, blessed Maria and her new dress. These were cosy evenings… Then, the fourth morning dawned. It was Sunday.
The next step is to buy a few wedding magazines. They are expensive, but well worth the money when your wedding dress research is concerned. These are great because you can cut wedding dresses out and if you want to have your gown made buy a designer or a seamstress, cut out dresses and stick your favorite parts together. Cut the bodice off one and the skirt of another. This will help you to visualize the design you want and will also help to relay your thoughts to you wedding dress designer or seamstress.
Now you are ready for the fun part! Trying on those beautiful gowns you have had your eye on!
Even if you are having your wedding dress made, it is always best to try on similar styles to the one you have chosen. This will ensure the shape and cut will flatter your figure and help with other decisions like the shape of the bust line, strapless or non-strapless, full skirt, a-line or slinky. Remember wedding dresses always look different on the rack and on the models then they will look on you.
