How I Sewed My Own Wedding Dress | Step-by-Step Tutorial & Was It Worth It?

In this video, I take you on the journey of sewing my own wedding dress from start to finish! Starting with a corset foundation, I built up the layers using a calico bodice to create my own pattern. Inspired by a vintage wedding dress I’ve cherished for years, I carefully chose fabrics that would bring my vision to life.

Join me as I walk you through each step of the process, from the initial pattern creation to the final details like embroidery and hemming. Along the way, I’ll share my thoughts on whether it was all worth it and reveal the final dress in all its glory!
