'What-a-wedding!' Dress

My sister was due to get married and I realised that I had an absolutely gorgeous dress for the wedding for myself....only it was too tight :(

So I decided I would make it into a dress for my daughter to wear for the wedding and my other daughter and I would find something with a similar pattern to wear so that we were coordinated :)

So I started off with this gorgeous dress in a uk size 10

I absolutely loved it like this but with my daughter being only 10, she didn't have the figure to wear it!

So I chopped off the straps, which made a three inch shortage at the front.

I couldn't chop the back to meet it because of the zip.

Part of the crazy process!

So I cut five inches from the hem (because let's face it, it was too long for her anyway!) and patched up the top and added the old straps (minus the darted bit for womanly humps) and added a gorgeous lace trim.

And this is what it turned out like
