When I was still in Chile I finished 2 (my MOH’s and sister’s) of the 4 dresses for the bridesmaids, so with half the work done I didn’t feel so pressured with this particular task, but with only 2 weeks until the wedding, I realized I should have started way earlier!!

By this time I wasn’t even done with my wedding dress transformation and I was starting to worry. So, I called my bridesmaids so we could do a super fast dressmaking session.

I started drawing patterns for the 2 different tops, and the girls tried them on. After they approved I cut the fabric and started assembling them.

Poodle-maid Kim’s Dress

I liked the fact that every dress was different. But I realized that it would have been easier to sew the same dress 4 times… oh well!

As you can see I was not very happy while I was finishing the dresses. I just wanted them to be done!

So, I made flowers for every girl to either put on their sashes or on their dresses. The last two bridesmaids decided they wanted them on their dresses!

Here’s one dress all done and Momma Poodle helping Candy get ready!

And here’s Poodle-maid Kim all ready in hers. For the flower girl I decided to just buy a white dress from Target, to which I added a purple tutu with a sash and a big flower. It was so much easier on me to just purchase her dress!

So there you go: there was a lot of pain involved but I finally finished them all. If I had to do it all over again I would have finished the dresses much sooner than I did. But, I wouldn’t change the fact that all the dresses were different—I loved that!

Are you having mismatch dresses for your bridesmaids? Do you think it’s worth the hassle?
