Crafting a Wedding Dress. Each summer I make a wedding dress, the average time allowed is two weeks. I enjoy the challenge immensely but was really pushed for time this year as my schedule finally left me with one week to D Day or Wedding Day. A net petticoat was constructed to maintain the silhouette (Thanks Judes) and 12hrs before the deadline I was able to add the finishing touches, beading and top press.

At the end of the dart, run off the stitching to the edge of the garment. Tie off ends in a knot for a smoother finish. On the right side press the seam only with the toe of the iron and avoid o...
