I cannot quite believe this myself yet; that I have eventually been able to execute an entire wedding dress, veil and all.
This wedding dress that I finally had the opportunity to make had been a promise since Grade9 by a friend and classmate. Of course only said as a teen promise; never knowing we were sowing a seed for the future.
The one thing we both were sure of was that it would have some bling. The bride is a lover of all things that shine, more so than all other ladies I know. We also knew it had to be the most dazzling dress to execute the most beautiful bride ever.
I personally spent approximately 2months building up the guts and strength to finally take on this major task. Wedding dresses are more stressful as they are so close to the bride's heart, and are one of the major main attractions at the wedding, and in this case it was for a friend for a promise made when I was only 14 years old.
I kept the dress with me for a week before finally reporting that is was completed, again wanting to ensure perfection. Then completed the veil.
The dress is a fishtail design; with a lace draped over the bodice and a full tulle skirt. It is lined, boned, and has a base of duchess. The finishings include pearl buttons along the zip line at the centre back, the actual dress ending on the strapless dress line, the lace continuing to the shoulders exposing them, veiling over the tulle skirt, a diamante comb holding the extra long at the back- but short in the front veil.
I want to thank God for this opportunity and I truly believe it will bring me more blessings; I also want to thank Mrs. Daphne P Zulu for the opportunity and trust she put in my hands and ability as a new designer with most probably the biggest day of her life.
So don't hesitate to contact me for your wedding dress! Bridesmaid dresses and within a year I will be demanding your groom's suit orders too.
