How I Made a Wedding Dress w/ Curtains on a Budget | DIY, Tutorial, How-to

In this #dressmaking video I show you nearly ever step I took to create this beautiful wedding-like dress for CHEAP! I will list the materials I used below!
If you don't know already, I got a new channel! All my previous videos can be found at ‪@MoreStephanieHarford‬ -- it's a long story but I explain why I moved channels in a video on that channel.

I'm so excited to share The Genesis dress with you all!
If you'd like to the CREATIVE version and STORY behind the dress, go check out my other video:
