Adele's gown is comprised of 4 dresses. The bodice came from the lavender dress, in the middle. Grey velvet trim was removed and lavender, off the shoulder straps were added with beaded detail.
The skirt came from the lavender dress, on the left. The same beaded fringe that was added to the shoulder straps was added to accentuate each tier of the skirt.
We got 2 of the same dress, pictured on the right, donated from sisters in the same wedding. The skirts were cut open and used as the train, while the bodices were connected and manipulated into the top of the bustle. A lavender shawl was cut in half and added as side panels. White wedding dress lace was applied for decor. Finally, stock white fabric and roses were added to bring a pop of color...
Tressa's green dress was easy to build off the dark green 2 piece, on the left. The only thing done to the bodice was the addition of beaded fringe off the shoulder straps.
The skirt from the emerald dress, on the right, was turned into the train, with some remnant burgundy fabric fluffed and gathered to make the bustle. Burgundy flowers and green ribbons were tucked into for decoration...
Amanda's started with this basic navy blue 2 piece dress. Beads and rhinestones were sewn onto the bust line and front hem of the bodice.
The skirt got a light blue dyed lace and bead cut out from a 1980s wedding dress (not pictured). Plus, stock grey fabric was pleated and added to the hemline.
A silver vest with long front panels was built out of stock fabric to add a contrast in color. Small lace was added as trim.
For the train, the same light blue dyed wedding dress was used--showing off the lace cut-outs.
The bustle utilized the same silver fabric, from the vest. Navy blue ribbons and light blue flowers were placed on the bustle for some more dimension...
