Purple taffeta bridesmaid gowns

Patterns:
Vogue 2842
McCall's 9126

Fabric:
Acetate taffeta (provided by customer)

Last fall, a dear friend of mine asked me to make the bridesmaids' and flower girl dresses for her wedding this spring. She had a design from Kathleen's Bridal that she loved, but they only had a few left, and none in the right color. I was so honored to be a special part of her day!

Here you can see a little more the draping/ruching effect in the front of the gowns:

The bride also asked me to do the flowers...so much fun!

Nice job! I'm sure that was a lot of hard work. That shade of blue is stunning.

Nice job, April! I wish I could have seen them in person but they are stunning in the pictures.
