Coincidence?

Coincidence? :  wedding austin wedding dress 1 1

I did a crazy rash of spring cleaning the day after Waffle left for LA and came across this dress sketch I had done years ago…

Coincidence? :  wedding austin wedding dress 2 2

The interesting thing about this sketch is that it is eerily similar to my wedding dress…

Coincidence? :  wedding austin wedding dress La Spos

They both have ruffled detailing at the top of the bodice, the fabric is wrapped around the body revealing a layer of lace and tulle under. The only difference is that my sketch dress is shorter and has rosettes cascading down the front opening.

My plan was to one day make this dress for myself, but I guess I won’t have to now. Funny how life works out.

Did you always have a specific dress type or shape in mind?

awsome! You’re a good artist. And your dress is beautiful

Almost the exact same thing happened to me. I don’t have a printer at home so instead of taking photos of dresses that I liked to the shops when i went dress shopping I had drawn a few quick little sketches. I didn’t show them to my consultant right away (because it was in my pocket and i forgot) but she picked one out that was EXACTLY one of my sketches, and it was the dress that I ended up picking.

I guess that means that dress was definitely in the cards for you.

Wow! That’s a beautiful dress! It reminds me of the dress in this movie I just saw called White Wedding. I was so jealous that she got to wear such a great dress. Anyways, cute story about a woman trying to have a modern wedding in South Africa. http://whiteweddingmovie.com/

I love how similar our dresses are - mine is La Sposa Madeira and they have the similar skirts & necklines. Beautiful! x

Lovely sketch, and it is funny how they are almost the same! Guess you’re the type of person who knows exactly what she wants :-)

Love the sketch. You really should consider using your sketches/artwork in your wedding. Maybe table numbers or escort cards or SOMETHING!
