Instructions
Step 1
Browse the internet for forums where professional tailors chat. You need to find out how the amount of fabric purchased is correctly calculated. In addition, there you will find many useful tips, and if you wish, ask your questions, which you will surely be happy to answer.
Step 2
Consider a cut before going to a fabric store. You must have a clear image of the dress that you will end up with. You need to draw it on paper. If drawing is not one of your skills, seek help from your fellow artists. Without an image, it will be extremely difficult for you to achieve a good result.
Step 3
Calculate your sizes and take care of the individual details of the dress, which you will use to make patterns. You cannot cope with this procedure alone. It is best if the parameters of your figure will be determined by the second person - so the results will be as accurate as possible. To make a wedding dress, every millimeter must be taken into account. And get ready for the fact that you will need to maintain your shape until the wedding - an extra or missing kilogram can significantly affect how the outfit will sit.
Step 4
Buy fabrics more than required: leave stock for various kinds of accidents, mistakes. You should do the same with threads, sequins and everything that is required for your outfit. Do not be upset if something goes against the planned plan - to sew a wedding dress, you will need not only tools and skill, but also a good mood. Remember that everything can be easily corrected and changed.
Step 5
Don't buy fabric at once, visit several stores. If possible, take photos of the samples you like and compare them at home in a relaxed environment. This will help you choose the material that is as close as possible to the material of your ideal wedding dress. It is not necessary to buy everything in one place - in one store you can buy brocade, in another - organza, in the third - sequins and ribbons.
Step 6
Coming up with patterns and outfit, make a clear plan of what and in what sequence you will sew, how the parts will be fastened. Magazines and books on the art of sewing usually contain detailed recommendations - look in them for styles that are similar to the one you have invented and focus on them. You should have detailed instructions written on paper. Sewing, especially of such garments as a dress, is a painstaking and lengthy process.
Step 7
Start sewing well in advance of the event to get everything on time. And do not postpone the choice of additions to the outfit - shoes, bags, jewelry. The closer the wedding, the more difficult it will be for you to make a decision.
