THE DRESS

This is my dress. The pictures do not do it justice. These pictures are of the original dress, style Tiffany, by Augusta Jones.

I made a lot of changes to this dress including removing the ruffle at the bottom, adding a foot more to the train, removing all the beading down the front seams, adding more rhinestones to the remaining beading pattern and adding covered buttons down the entire back of the dress.

The first picture from the dressmaker:

Here are pictures from when I first tried on my dress. I made some additional changes. I had it taken in and changed it to more of a mermaid skirt.

During my first alterations I realized two things: 1) I actually did love my dress; and 2) I was going to wear my hair down! She pinned in the sides a bit, pulling it in through the seat, making the skirt more mermaid in style. And, of course, she hemmed it. She also added more rhinestones to the beading pattern under the bust for a little more "bling."
