Arabella here:
Some one making a wedding gown......... Some people have big budget for
weddings. It's not unusual for weddings to cost $10,000. I of course was
not one of them. When I got married in '91 I actually tried on a dress
made of pale pink silk covered with beads and it looked fabulous on
me..........was very depressed the price was $3000. That was my whole
wedding budget.
The silk store has some very high priced beaded silk. They also have some
silk for $12 a yard. many different colors.
Remember the dress you make yourself should be able to be worn at other
events. I have a velvet dress and I only wear it in December and January
cause it's not cold enough to wear it any other time. I wouldn't do velvet.
or at least don't give it a train.
