Lela Rose Bridesmaid Dress

June 23rd, 2010 @ 5:18 pm by Mrs. Pashmina

The Bride’s Guide recently posted the beautiful bridesmaid dress for Lela Rose‘s new collection. It is like a burst of sunshiney goodness! This incorporates all my loves: ruffled petals, surprising color combinations, and quirky charm.

I am searching for sweetheart neckline, short dresses from my bridesmaids. Perhaps tea length like this one.

This dress is amazing, but if I could fabricate a cheaper version, this is how I would do it:

  1. Find a basic sweetheart dress
  2. Find fabric that is the same hue
  3. Cut out petals
  4. Using a contrasting thread stitch around each petal either by using the sewing machine on the zigzag stitch or by using embroidery floss
  5. Layer the petals in a flower shape on the dress and secure them
  6. Then swirl a rectangular swatch of fabric–or even a piece of lace or some type of decal–to create the center of the flower then secure it to the dress.

Voila!

Has a dress ever inspired you to make your own version when the original isn’t quite within your budget?

OMG that is the cutest BM dress Ive ever seen! I love the contrasting stitch around the petals. I went on Dessy.com and saw that you can change the flower color…that would have been so cute to have a blue dress and yellow flower! :)

The dress is lovely and cute. Especially it is one of those not-so-loud dresses. Like the simplicity in the dress…

I saw this dress on stylemepretty (I think) a while ago and fell in love with it for my SIL’s wedding. Her colors are yellow and grey and it was perfect. Alas, there is no way anyone could afford the price tag. I think we were quoted like $325 or so. Ridiculous!
