It all starts with a sketch!
I'll be honest, drawing has never been one of my favorite things to do. Even through design school I just couldn't get into it. But one thing I love about designing and making dresses is comparing the finished product to the original sketch (no matter how sloppy it is or how crazy her hair looks!). The process of bringing a 2D sketch to life is so much fun and so rewarding to look back on!
This was my first (and only) sketch of my wedding gown. Since I was making it for myself, I didn't need to make it too detailed but it was just enough to convey the soft flowy skirt, low back and fitted bodice.
I still love how my gown turned out and am determined to wear it or use it for something else one day!
