Bridesmaid Fittings

June 14th, 2007 @ 3:10 pm by Mrs. Plum

Pre-hemming and pre-any actual alterations…. yay!

I can actually start to picture my wedding day now that I see the bridesmaids in their gowns… 2 more weeks!

(these two are the ones that need the most alterations - the ones who happen to be like negative size 5’s (the dresses they ordered came in size 0 but were still too large).

Just for reference again, these dresses are Saeyoung Vu style Marysol - long in the chestnut brown dupioni silk.

front with sash - we will be doing a single loop and it will only be 1/2 as thick as this one

back with sashes

And just for comparison: with and without sashes.

(of course they will be wearing the proper undergarments, different accessories, have makeup on, and have their hair done on the day of - lol.)

I think the smaller sash you mention will be nicely proportioned for ladies so petite.

Holy FABULOUS! Those are awesome dresses. Who needs the makeup, hair done, proper undergarments, etc - they already look pretty darn great! You’re wedding is going to be so beautiful!

I think the sash adds a LOT to the dress. Definitely ties (hehe…) it all together!

We have to have a lot of alterations done on one of our BM dresses. From a misses size 2 (the smallest it came) to a children’s size 10!

definitely with sash. but not too long, and omit that loop on the top, it looks funny. just a simple know (sans bow, loop) would be perfect.

your bm’s are so tiny! i agree with nhung. the top loop is a bit distracting.

what’s below a size 0?!?!? my goodness…. my only concern is that these bridesmaids dresses are TOO gorgeous…. If you dyed these bridesmaids dresses white — it would make a terrific wedding gown! In fact, I think these dresses are even nicer than wedding GOWNS that I’ve seen! You want everyone looking at you, yes? hehe… I mean, that’s me being selfish here, but gosh darnit — this is the 1 day in our whole lives that we are allowed to be selfish!

I don’t know what your gown looks like, I just hope it overrides these beautiful dresses! (at least it’s white!)

I don’t even know what’s below a 0 - these chicks need to gain some weight! That’s what i’m sayin’.

My wedding gown can be seen in the portrait behind the girls on the wall I’m pretty sure i’ll still look like the bride that day hehe.

[...] Mrs. Plum posted about her bridesmaids’ silk sashes, and Rebecca thought that this was something simple that the girls could learn to make. [...]
