Most of you have already seen this but i am so proud of it i thought i would put it in here.
I designed the pattern as well as stitched it. The burgundy panels have little beads all over them which i sewed on one at a time. It felt really nice to touch after it was finished.
The only thing i got wrong was the waistcoat, they were cream with burgundy piping not burgundy with cream piping lol. I put my sister and her husband on here to show you what the real dress looks like.

That is perfect - what a lovely keepsake for them - even better than a photograph. Her dress is very unusual, but really lovely. The trend does seem to be for a splash of colour in a sash or something I noticed when we were recently shopping for wedding dresses. I like it.
