Abby was blessed to get a wonderful roommate assignment her freshman year in the dorm. Rachel turned out to be the perfect roommate. In fact, so perfect that the two girls roomed together for the next 3 years.
Now Rachel is moving on to another chapter in her life and Abby is traveling to LA to be a bridesmaid.
Rachel's choose orange and peach for her wedding colors. Abby couldn't find a dress that fit Rachel's casual style and colors so I made her one.
Oneseriously altered redesigned pattern, two bright 100% cotton voile fabrics,
five covered buttons, two hey-hole sleeves and a shawl collar bound with custom bias bindings, one satin sash,
a peach underskirt, six crocheted belt loops...and it's finally done
I'm happy with how it turned out and Abby loves it. It's wearable and colorful and current (Abby's sister Rachel thinks it looks like an Anthropology dress( and most of all it's cool. LA's hot in the summer.
Congratulations Rachel Fish! We love you and wish we were all flying down for the wedding.

I love the dress! Well done, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGreat dress, you are very creative and clever to be able to alter a pattern like this. I hope that the wedding was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is beautiful ! What a wonderful job you did....and covered buttons.
ReplyDeleteAnd a seamstress even. Beautiful dress. Looking forward to seeing the whole wedding party.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun color, and a darling dress design.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
Lucky to have you for a designer, and seamstress!
Awesome! Can't believe you have time to do this with Brooke's wedding coming up quick.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful redesign! Finally a bridesmaid dress that can be worn again and again!! Your an amazing seamstress Bonnie!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh Bonnie -- it's gorgeous!!!! I'll bet it looks darling on your girl. Can you tell me what pattern you started with? Did it have that collar on it? I've been looking for a top with that style collar and having NO luck!
ReplyDeleteYou've outdone yourself Bonnie. It's so stylish. Even down to the crocheted belt loops! What a cherished friend she is, I bet she feels part of the family if you're willing to do this for her wedding.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, The pattern is from Sew Liberated.com. It does have the shawl collar on it but not the bias binding. I removed the 5/8" seam allowance from the collar and added my own bias binding. I made quite a few adjustment to it. I sent you an email with the details.
ReplyDeleteYour girls are so lucky to have you! Love the dress!
