Talking Just have to share!!
Hi all,
As some of you may remember I have decided to make my own wedding dress. Well, H2b and I decided I would make my Mho and Bsms dresses as well. I was worried about cost for 4 dresses and if I would have enough time etc. The time has been sorted and I can easily get 4 done in 18 mths and as for cost, well, went out today and got all fabric, lace, zips etc and it works out it has cost me £13.50 per dress ( I love sales!!)!!!! Sorry but really happy about it and had to share!!

Thank you all for your replies!! I am so chuffed with it all. Tmw morning I will be nipping out to get some dye for some of the lace ( they only had white and told me that it would be very easy to dye it to whatever colour I need) then I will get started on the first dress.

I can't believe what a bargain you got - I do like bargain shopping. Looking forward to seeing the pics. What colours are you having?

My dress will be all white, My Mhos will be a black underslip with aubergene laces over lay and the Bsms will have aubergene slip with black lace over lay.

Here is the pattern pic...
Mine and Mhos dress is the middle one and the Bsms is the one on the left ( short one)
