In the Beginning

Hello! So on Friday May 25th, Gina, Jennifer, Linda, Alexis, Kenzie, Pam and I went to Vows in Watertown, MA to try and get an idea as to what Gina was looking for in a dress.  When Gina originally asked me to make her dress, she had no idea as to what she was interested in.  Now that she had gone to two different wedding dress boutiques, she had a bit more of an idea.  Although, talking to her, she's not so sure!  I have a much better understanding however, so we have somewhere to start.  Gina is looking for a strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline.  She likes the idea of an asymmetrical sash just below the bust creating a empire waist shape.  She is interested in a drop waist, with perhaps a layered skirt and a slight train.  There was a dress at Vows that had a beautiful layered train with a similar shape - but the skirt started too low on Gina.  She's looking for a light fabric, an off white or ivory type color, and lace accents.  SO with all the new information, I took Gina's measurements, and went off to begin.
