Couture :
Fine Sewing Techniques for
Wedding Gowns and Evening Wear
Though ostensibly a how-to manual on wedding
gown construction , this magnificent book
teaches all about advanced dressmaking skills, and its principles
can be applied to creating many other types of haute-couture-style
gowns. The very thorough text details all aspects of fabrics and
construction: the unique characteristics of each type of fashion
fabric, including extensive information on manipulating lace;
preparing the muslin mockup (a necessary first step to ensure a
perfect fit); adjusting the bodice, sleeves, and skirt and joining
them all together; adding ornamentation; and handling bustles and
trains. The final chapter presents all the specifics of making
four gowns of different styles. The novice and even the advanced
sewer will learn much here, and perhaps best of all,
pattern-drafting experience is not required--the author works her
transformations on purchased patterns. If you're ambitious enough
to make your own wedding gown, this book is absolutely essential,
but even if you're hiring someone else to custom-make your gown,
you'll find this an invaluable guide. And anyone pursuing a
dressmaking career should have this important reference work on
the shelf
'I
Do' Veils - So Can You! :
A Step-By-Step Guide to Making
Bridal Headpieces, Hats, and Veils With
Professional Results
Anyone who's ever gone shopping for wedding clothing knows how
startlingly pricey veils are. With even the simplest bridal
headpieces taking a hefty bite of the wedding budget, it only
makes sense to make it yourself if possible. Fortunately, with the
help of "I Do" Veils and the wonderful (and
inexpensive) lace, veiling, silk flowers and pearls that are
widely available, it can be a fun project and not an arduous task.
There are tips for selecting the right headpiece style for your
face, figure and dress (whether it's a simple barrette with bow or
an ornate tiara with cathedral-length veil) ; illustrations to
help you decide how elaborate you want your hat, veil, comb or
clip to be; and hundreds of embellishment techniques involving
nothing more complicated than a hot glue gun. The directions are
easy to follow, and for those who don't have a good bridal section
in their local fabric and notions store, the list of wholesale and
retail mail-order suppliers will be invaluable.

Uses for a Bridesmaid Dress
Bridesmaid dresses -- what are they good for? We've
got to pay for them, wear them, and then find a spot for them in
the back of the closet. Our best women friends, suddenly
transformed into tasteful-white-dress-wearing brides, tell us,
"You'll be able to wear this bridesmaid dress again." But we
know better.
101 Uses for a Bridesmaid Dress , tongue firmly in cheek, pokes fun at the hopelessly horrible dress that a bride asks her "court" to don. These whimsical illustrations and silly suggestions, from cocktail napkins and shower curtains, to pony blankets and frilly jock straps, are a hilarious antidote to the bridesmaid dresses we'll never wear again.
