Quest for the Dress: Wedding Dress Patterns
My mother laid out a schedule for the construction of my wedding gown. Very exciting. The not so exciting part is that she says she does not have time to make a pattern for the dress I had drawn up, so I must choose a pre-existing pattern by January 15th.
I'm not particularly upset that I'll have to give up my first choice of gown. The strapless A-Line Wedding Gown seems to be everywhere right now, and immediately after I finished my own design for a strapless A-line gown, I began to notice the shape's ubiquity. Most recently, the silohette was worn by Trisa Rehn of "The Bachelorette" fame, and heaven help me, please, to avoid anything that even faintly resembles the pink & white televised travesty which was her wedding.
So, I've made a little list of patterns I like, though I haven't yet made the final decision. They are listed and linked below:
1) Vogue 2627. My favorite for the moment. I go between liking this one best and liking Vogue 2134 best.
2) Vogue 2134 . Sorry there isn't a larger picture! I'll post one when I can find one.
3) Vogue 2774. I like the front of this, but not the back, and the way this is made, you really can't have the front without the back.
4) Vogue 2773. It's pretty, and it's by Oscar de la Renta.
5) Vogue 2717. The standard A-line strapless pattern. Meh.
