Now that my bride Raquel's wedding has been celebrated, I can post the images from our last and final fitting without worrying about her new hubby seeing them. If you recall, in Part 2, we had a full version of Raquel's gown fabricated in muslin to insure the correct fit and make any design changes prior to cutting into the actual finish fabric of her gown. After all of the corrections and alterations to the gown and tweaks to the design were completed, I took apart the muslin and proceeded to use this as my new pattern to trace onto the final silk fabric. Getting the muslin version of her dress (or of any of my brides) correct is crucial to allowing our final fitting to go smoothly with minimal adjustments.
I put her gown back together, leaving any small details to be adjusted the days Raquel came in for her final appointment. This time Raquel set aside a full week in L.A. to be sure we had enough time to get everything right before she flew back East with her gown.
After a little bit of pinning, adjusting, tacking and sewing, Raquel's gown was complete!
As she is on her honeymoon now, I am waiting for her return and looking forward to the photos. Oh, I also created three cute dresses for the little flower girls, their photos are coming as well...
