Hi wonderful community!

Are you thinking of making your own dress? If you are, I admire you!

Here are a few steps to get you started to make your own dress:

STEP 1: PICK YOUR PATTERN

Pick your pattern

STEP 2: PICK YOUR FABRIC

You can take a look at this discussion to see different fabrics and their pros and cons:

What type of fabric will you choose for your wedding dress?

STEP 3: DECIDE ON SIMPLE MODIFICATIONS ON YOUR PATTERN

STEP 4: MAKE A MUSLIN MOCK UP OF YOUR DRESS

STEP 5: SEE WHAT ALTERATIONS YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE

STEP 6: ALTER THE PAPER PATTERN WITH YOUR ALTERATIONS

STEP 7: CUT AND MARK YOUR FABRIC

Cut and mark your fabric

STEP 8: BASTE THE DRESS TOGETHER

STEP 9: SEW YOUR DRESS TOGETHER

STEP 10: FINISHING TOUCH

Does this make it seem easier? I can't wait to see every step of it!

If you're making your wedding dress yourself, you should definitely create tons of discussions about it. I'm sure everyone would love to see it!

What step are you at? What patterns did you choose?

I actually know someone who makes her own clothes and her sons clothes - so it would not surprise me that she did this
But as for me - this is a beautiful idea - but i dont think i could ever do a great job like this

I have never sewn a day in my life so I wouldn't want to start with a wedding dress! And I feel like it would be a challenge to try on the dress and have to pin it for alterations while wearing it so you'd need someone to help you. This is definitely one of those things best left up to the professionals unless you already have a LOT of experience doing it!

These are great tips for making a wedding dress. For me, I won't make this attempt as I would worried about making mistakes and ruining the dress. Anyone who makes their own, my hats off to you.

I could never make my own dress! I can't even sew hahah so it would be a disaster. I would rather have it in the hands of a professional! To anyone who can do something like this, props to them! I also think this would just be an extra added on stress.
