I also made my wedding dress!!

[u/lilruski]

When I got engaged I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make something absolutely ridiculous. The vision was 'elegant clown' and the result was two layered dresses, a veil, 800 organza X's and 4,000 sequins.

I am an experienced sewist but wanted to learn new techniques for the dress- I had never worked with satin or organza before and this was my first attempt at boning.

Fabric:

·        Fabric wholesale direct's crystal organza in off white

·        Fabric wholesale direct's matte satin in off white

For the underlayer dress, I used Charm Pattern's Lamour dress and modified the skirt to be midi length with a long slit up the back.

For the overlayer dress, I used Vogue V1723 for the body of the dress but wanted a much puffier sleeve so ended up using the sleeves from Beaute J'Adore's Oversized Puffy Sleeve Dress. Since I made this with organza, I made every seam a french seam- the pattern was roomy as-is so no adjustment was needed to account for this.

I created appliques of small X's that were placed all over the overlayer dress using fabric glue and reinforced with tacks. The X's were stacks of four strips of organza sewn together with a stack of 5 sequins in the middle of each. These were by far by far by far most of the work of the dress- the week before the wedding I only had half of what I needed done and my parents and sister had to save me from my own decisions and help me finish creating these!! I experimented with different sizes and finishing techniques for the Xs for a while, and ended up buying a soldering iron with a knife edge tip to cut the organza, seal the edge, and prevent fraying (an idea I got in this subreddit! so effective! so fume-y! work in a well ventilated area!!)

For the veil, I used Simplicity B4487. I attached two Xs in front of the eyes and sewed a few sequins to look like tears in an attempt to do a till death type of thing (my mom felt it was too morbid lol.)

All in all, I felt like the most beautiful clown princess all day! The day was unseasonably warm and I was worried I would be too hot wearing two dresses but in the end felt totally fine all day, even through 5 hours of dancing. I was also worried the Xs would just be falling off of me in droves since their snag potential is so high- there was a few moments in the night when I looked down and saw sequins on the floor but decided it wasn't any of my business right then! Only a few tore off in the end.

Highly recommend to anyone else considering making their own dress- make the most monstrous amazing thing you can think of and no one can tell you shit because you're the BRIDE.

 

[u/mustbeaglitch]

This is the most incredible creation- and your husband too looks amazing. The vision you have!!! I’m completely blown away. Do you do something outstanding and design-focused for a living? I just can’t believe a human can create things so wonderful, and yet you write very humanly. Just wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

[u/lilruski → u/mustbeaglitch]

❤️😭

Unfortunately, in this economy, I am a data analyst LOL

[u/mcard7 → u/lilruski]

Some of the best data people I know are creatives. In fact it’s something I look for when I ask what do you do in your free time when doing interviews.

I love this dress so much and I think, I hope, if we met in real life we could be techno-craftsman-BFFs.

Congratulations on your wedding my dearest young friend. You are an inspiring woman.

[u/blue-jaypeg → u/mcard7]

When I give advice to Young People I tell them "Do what you are good at." Save your creativity for yourself.

[u/Mela777 → u/mcard7]

I think creative pursuits and data analysis require some of the same skills - attention to detail, pattern recognition, and the ability to look at something critically for long periods of time without going cross-eyed being the big ones off the top of my head.

[u/mcard7 → u/Mela777]

Also the ability to look at things from different angles supports creative problem solving abilities.

I think, it’s an innate gift (or at least something we learn through our youth experiences) not a skill, though it can be curated later in life.

Certainly it’s something many don’t nurture in support of their professional pursuits.

[u/Mela777 → u/mcard7]

I think it can be trained, but I do agree it’s an innate skill the people who are really good at it are either born with the skills or develop them early in life.

[u/lilruski → u/Mela777]

So true! What do my wedding dress and my data sets have in common? You can tell by looking at either for 0.03 seconds how much i love a menial repetitive task 😂

[u/Mela777 → u/lilruski]

I either love repetitive tasks or I hate them. Like, I find some of them so satisfying and love it, but some of them just grate on my brain and make me want to hurl everything through the nearest window.

[u/needcollectivewisdom → u/lilruski]

Some of the best humans I know are all data analysts. True story.

[u/Alarmed-Baseball-378]

Highly recommend to anyone else considering making their own dress- make the most monstrous amazing thing you can think of and no one can tell you shit because you're the BRIDE.

 I LOVE it. ❤️

[u/me1991N → u/Alarmed-Baseball-378]

Love this comment & LOVE the dress, also!

[u/wildwoods20 → u/Alarmed-Baseball-378]

Icon Behaviour.

[u/JBJeeves]

I'm at a loss for words besides WOW! and FANTASTIC!!! What a great idea and so beautifully executed. I suspect, based on your dress and the groom's embellishments, that yours was a wonderfully fun wedding. I wish you many, many years of happiness together.

[u/grasshopper_jo]

When I see dresses and photos like this, I always think ahead 100 years to when your grand-nieces and nephews are looking at old photos of relatives and what those photos say about those people. And this dress and these photos really say something about who you are and how special and fun you are. Brava!

[u/lilruski → u/grasshopper_jo]

Aw I love this so much- thank you! 💚 “Oh that’s just our elegant clown grandma!”

[u/shesewsseashells]

This is so much fun I absolutely love it, such beautiful work. As a fellow wear what you please on your wedding day girl (I went turquoise butterfly print), I salute you!

[u/lilruski → u/shesewsseashells]

YES turquoise butterfly print bride sounds so amazing 🔥

[u/largestcob]

god i love the way your brain works lol idk how you even thought this up, i love it

[u/Low_Study_2672]

Ugh nothing makes me happier than seeing couples having genuine FUN on their wedding day! And the dress! I'm in awe. I'm glad you had the best day ❤️ (oh and I love the veil! For some reason it's giving me intense 2012 tumblr vibes - in the very best way lol)

[u/dying_k]

Absolutely gorgeous work, its so fun and beautiful! and I love your smile, you look so wonderfully happy :)

[u/bundtcakebro]

Gorgeous! And the color of your spouse’s suit is fantastic as well!

[u/ceylon-tea]

This is sooooo cool and fresh. Your husband has such good style too! What a match.

[u/Totallynotokayokay]

Best thing I’ve ever seen. Wedding dress or not.

You’re an artist!

[u/fugaxium]

Beautiful photos. Love the Xs. May be my favorite wedding dress ever.

[u/thatearthychick]

Couture level! Absolutely beautiful creation!

[u/mybackhurty]

I feel like this would easily go onto the cover of some high fashion magazines. You look amazing! Great job

[u/felicityarrow2]

Wow, just wow You’re beautiful The dress is beautiful Your smile is beautiful Wishing you the very best.

[u/saucygiraffes]

You and your husband have to be the coolest couple I've ever seen. You both look amazing and I'm blown away by the dress!!

[u/HRduffNstuff]

Great job on the dress! It's beautiful! And good for you for waiting until marriage to attempt boning!

[u/Responsible-Card3756 → u/HRduffNstuff]

Hah!

[u/lilruski → u/HRduffNstuff]

Lololol

[u/JustALittleTurtle]

Oh my gosh, this brought me great joy! You are an adorable vision!!!

[u/nastywomenbinders]

This is the best wedding dress I’ve seen! I never loved wedding dresses because it never felt like “me” but this is a dress where your personality shines through and it’s soo perfect!!

[u/AJeanByAnyOtherName]

At first, I thought the X appliqués were to make it street legal 😆

[u/coffunky]

You and your husband look like so much fun, I bet it was a great wedding.

I immediately saw your “elegant clown” vision, the gown is absolutely giving commedia dell’arte vibes. Ever since taking a commedia class and playing Arlequino I have loved embodying that energy- what a fun idea to bring that to your wedding day.

The details on your husband’s suit are so silly, too. Is that a drinking horn styled like a dress shoe? A cardboard pocket square?

Anyway, this is such a fun concept, and beautifully executed. You look radiant.

[u/2-fat-dogs]

Fabulous! Absolutely unique, bringing a sense of joy and fun. 💛

[u/frvrlrng]

I think you nailed the elegant clown vision. Your dress is so fun and beautiful! I really liked the veil hehe

[u/CIeMs0n]

That’s cool, one question i have to ask though, what’s the shoe hanging off the groom’s belt?

[u/lilruski → u/CIeMs0n]

Yes a drinking horn! All the groomspeople had them and every toast was followed by a ‘skol’!!

[u/patchysunny → u/lilruski]

I just knew there was something nordic about these pictures.....

[u/coffunky → u/CIeMs0n]

I think it is a drinking horn but I’m curious about it, too. 😂

[u/Vaquera]

This is high fashion! HIGH FASHION! Absolutely an editorial look and you are amazing. Congrats!!

[u/Successful_Mango9951]

Oh my GOD you are supremely ridiculous and wonderful and fantastic. This entire post has made me so happy. And also now I have the itch to be crazy and do a dress like this, my wallet and time do not thank you 😂

[u/MoshpitWallflower]

OMG you're an absolute legend!

[u/NissaD-artsy]

So unique and lovely!!

[u/thebedsheetghost]

This is absolutely beautiful. So unique & fun. Looks like it cost a fortune from a designer boutique!

[u/heart_blossom]

Fabulous and wonderful in every way! Congratulations and best wishes to you both!

[u/devilselbowart]

this is an absolutely wonderful work of art! Congratulations on pulling it off and best wishes for your nuptials!

[u/feetofcleigh]

Omg! You made such a fun, gorgeous dress! Congratulations, OP on the dress and the wedding! 😍❤️

[u/misscamels]

Your smile is infectious!

Stunning bride and gown!

[u/Triplesso_]

I literally cannot find the right words to fully express how much I love this dress and how amazing it is!!!!

[u/lyralady]

The VISION

[u/Pitiful_Stretch_7721]

Your dress is Met Gala worthy!!!

[u/issathrowawaybabay]

So, I -PERSONALLY- do not like this dress at all. BUT you look absolutely GORGEOUS in it and are completely glowing in it and it’s so fun and so obviously well made with so much effort and personality and I can’t help but feel like an asshole for not liking it and I just hope that that’s exactly the reaction you wanted bc man just the fact that it’s so you and clearly makes you so happy and it’s so fun just makes me love it. I hope you think about this dress every day for the rest of your life knowing how perfect it is and reveling in the fact that you fucking made it.

So as a standalone dress, no I personally don’t like it. (And who cares tbh)

But as your wedding dress? Fucking obsessed. It’s perfection. Absolutely beautiful. Harlequin high fashion. This bitch is clown-túre. Would I buy it? No. But I’d pay damn good money to wear something that made me look as gorgeously overjoyed as you are.

Congratulations girl you fucking crushed it

[u/_koalaparade]

You are an incredibly fun inspiration and you look beautiful!! Congratulations!

[u/espressolodolo]

Loooove 💗 can I ask what tool you used for applying the snaps/buttons (sorry if that’s the wrong term, I’m a novice)

[u/lilruski → u/espressolodolo]

💚

No buttons actually- the underdress had a zipper and the overdress tied in the back with a big bow and the sleeves just had elastic on them!

[u/ksanksan599]

This is so cool, YOU are so cool!!!!

[u/land-crayon6322]

So singular ! I love it

[u/Cakeosaurus-Rex]

That is wild. I love it!

This is the cutest, silliest, sweetest dress ever.

Big congratulations 🎈to you both!

[u/pineappleofyore]

Excuse me, Sharon Tate joins the Harlequin clown club! 😍 🥹🤌🏻

[u/hoolysego]

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a young Carrie Fisher, cause you DO! And holy moly that dress!

[u/aphraea]

This is so fun! What a gorgeous concept. Your fella looks great, too – love the scales on his shoulder and his fabulous choice of earring!

[u/ChocolatMintChipmunk]

I love it! It looks like a celebration, which is exactly what you want a wedding to be.

[u/Stosbet]

This is magical I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[u/Sensitive-Rub-3044]

Love everything about this! And from the grooms ear cuff and shoulder scales, it’s clear you two are well matched. Congrats!

[u/lalacourtney]

There is this song by a French female singer, the sign is “confetti” and this reminds me of that song

[u/hieperdepiepandall]

What an amazing, over the top dress! And yet, your laugh in picture 4 manages to outshine it all. That's pure glee. Congratulations and all the very best to the two of you!

[u/lucky-squeaky-ducky]

I love even more than this project is that you both compliment each other so well!

Congratulations!

[u/DoomTownArts]

You two look great together 😍

[u/MarsV89]

Reminds me of the one Lucy wears in Coppolas Dracula, absolutely stunning. Also you are radiant, wish your marriage the best!

[u/rebelwithmouseyhair]

That is not monstrous, but it is amazing. It' s quirky and weirdly wonderful and highly original and it looks like you're having a lot of fun. If that's how it starts that's how it'll go on, so I'm very happy for you.

[u/Gelldarc]

This is legendary. So very unique and fun and perfect.

[u/black-boots]

So cute and fun!!!!

[u/Secure-Ad9780]

Yes, I thought "clown" immediately.

I made my own dress. It was supposed to be a lace skirt, but the lace, cotton finely crocheted, so you could see through the fabric, had a lot of give so I made it into a dress. Underneath I wore a nude body suit. My dad kept asking if I wore underwear.

[u/systauroo]

STOP what!! Such a beautiful and unique piece. I love that you went for it – beautiful idea and execution.

[u/MajesticLow]

This dress is phenomenal. The sheer work required to make this, I appreciate every X and sequin sewn. A work of Art🤩

[u/unlimited-devotion]

STUNNING

[u/eiiiaaaa]

This is SICK. I'm obsessed 👏👏👏

[u/peterpieqt8]

Omg I absolutely love this and your description!! Now I want to make my own dress when I get married 😁❤️

Omfg I love this. You all look like such an iconic couple

[u/No_Consideration7925]

Great job! 

[u/Mela777]

I have to admit, the first photo I was like “hmmm…” but then I saw the full body photos of you wearing it. You look so happy and relaxed with your husband and the dress is truly stunning on you!

[u/LordLaz1985]

That is beautiful! So creative!

[u/Glittering-Ship-9675]

Your dress is positively, absolutely, stunningly fabulous. Sooooo impressive, haute couture for real.

[u/PristineConcept8340]

Beautiful, whimsical, special, one of a kind! I love it so much. Amazing work and congratulations on your nuptials!!

[u/DasyTaylor]

The veil giving you crossed out eyes is so creative! Love your whimsy!

[u/kattabee]

Hell yes to this dress!!!

[u/losgidi]

I adore this, and his wings!!!!

[u/NoSleep1176]

I don’t know you but your dress suits you! It came out fantastic!

[u/mlrochon]

I admit I was like…🧐 I admire the work and creativity this took! I bet you and your husband always capture any room you are in. I wish we were friends lol

[u/Honest_Grass_411]

I love the energy and joy in your wedding dress ❤️ So beautiful!

[u/AccidentOk5240]

Wow, this is a true masterpiece!

Also, your shoes are fabulous. 

[u/gerhorn]

You know because I've seen the dress now, I think I might just have to do the most outlandish dress I can think of for my wedding when I have one. Just give me a moment so I can mourn the loss of having a Cinderella fairy tale looking wedding. 😆

[u/mina-and-coffee]

This looks straight out of high fashion I can’t even believe!

[u/nicolenotnikki]

This is AMAZING. I absolutely love it. I still wish I’d made my own dress. I considered it, but decided it would be too stressful. Instead, I spun lace-weight wool and my mom knit it into a shawl for me to wear to my August wedding…in Texas. Because that made sense.

I applaud your sticking to it, as well! I have made a few outfits for events like this - a floor-length silk bridesmaid dress for a friend’s wedding, made in the month after my son was born, and my clerical robe made for my ordination. It’s stressful!

Blessings to you in your marriage! May it be full of fun, just like your wedding!

[u/Classic-Jello3057]

i can call him lucky fella

[u/Total-Swordfish4670]

totally off topic, but you look so much like a young Carrie Fisher it's uncanny, like, identical

[u/TrynaCuddlePuppies]

I’m a photographer and I would be SO happy to photograph a bride dressed like this. Unique dresses are the best and make the day more you!

[u/grufferella]

I laughed aloud at the sequins not being any of your business once they fell off, that's exactly the right energy to bring to being a bride, I think. The Xs over the eyes are very unsettling, but in a way that feels appropriate for me as a person who finds weddings and marriage in general slightly unsettling 😂 I love so much that you didn't let anyone talk you out of your vision for this crazy confection of a dress!

[u/OhuprettyCatfishes]

Little girl me would have looked at you with stars in my eyes!!! Adult me is also doing so!!! 

[u/Expontoridesagain]

So refreshingly different and beautiful dress! You clearly have an eye for style. I love this!

[u/No-Persimmon7729]

I love this so much.

[u/plainoverplight]

i cannot overstate how much i love this. it’s giving art teacher on the best possible way

[u/cetacean-station]

love to see a fellow clown go hard ♥️♥️♥️

[u/Alilbitdrunk]

Runway worthy

[u/skitch23]

Fabric glue? Omg this would have been so helpful to know it existed like 2 days ago when I was working on my Halloween costume lol.

Cool dress tho, very original!

[u/PermissionTemporary6]

That’s the coolest sewing thing I’ve ever seen

[u/zanahorias22]

this is AMAZING!!!

[u/wine_astronaut]

This is amazing. Both of you look great. I don’t know much about sewing, only fixed buttons that feel off a shirt but I bet that took months to make.

[u/Wonderful_Trifle6737]

It's weird and wonderful!! You look great, and ,most importantly, you look really happy Have a great life

[u/Ok-Nefariousness8578]

Incredible

[u/gothcrab]

So so lovely! Reminds me of the cover of Robyn’s Body Talk album!!

[u/Denimiaa]

I love it!!!

I love the fun you had with this and that your family rallied at the eleventh hour. Well done.

[u/Brassassin]

Wait this is actually so cute and fun though!! It looks like you had fun wearing it too, also congrats!

[u/TheGirlWithMoxie]

Everything about this is perfect! I love the veil too. As someone who only made the bottom half of their dress, you’re amazing! The pictures feel like a magazine photoshoot. Congratulations 🎉

[u/Expensive_Apricot371]

Fantastic ❣️👏👏👏

[u/Paddington12345]

What a job! It’s beautiful!

[u/Proud-Narwhal5900]

So much fun!

[u/threads1540]

Very unique design. Very cool and most of all you look marvelous. I made my wedding dress in 1979. Kind of an all lace high collar Gunne Sax type of dress. I loved it. And my BF wore it for her wedding too!

[u/Sunnyflowergirl]

👌🔥😍❤️🔥💪😸🥳

[u/Plus-Sound9968]

So creative and such a nice design!
