Today, I thought I'd tell you about a wedding dress I transformed. Yes, that's right! I cut into a wedding dress and made it into a formal day dress, complete with a matching clutch.
Here's the wedding dress, the first and only time it was worn as a wedding dress. After that day, it sat, carefully wrapped up, in a wardrobe.
I wish I could say that I made this gorgeous dress, but I didn't.
It wasn't easy making the first cut, but once I started, the nerves disappeared and I was away.
The new skirt is made from a lightweight, stretch denim.
Here's the finished dress in action at another wedding, but this time, not as the bride.
And complete with a matching clutch made from the original dress.
I was extremely pleased with the results and it certainly attracted many compliments. You can read the story behind the transformation here...

Very brave of you to cut into such a beautiful dress, but the results look well worth it and every time you wear the new dress you can smile a little remembering your big day.
Kudos to you!
OMG! The bride dress is wonderful...I'm not so brave to cut it!
