Past Project Highlights: Wedding Dress Edition
I am such a sucker when it comes to Wedding Dresses. I marvel at those who possess the inspiration, the execution and the construction of one of the most ultimate expressions of love, the wedding dress. Creating your own garment not only reflects the love you are giving to that special someone, but also the love you hold for oneself.
For this Project Highlights I changed things up a little. Having just ended the Review a Past Project Contest, our review gallery was full of projects from long ago. I happened to notice a few of you reviewed your wedding dresses, some from decades ago! So, I collected three reviews from this years' contest and three from the same contest that was held last year at this time. You can find these contests here: 2023 Review a Past Project Contest and 2022 Review a Past Project Contest. We hope that you get inspired by others, just like you, from our community to write up your own review, even if it was something that you made decades ago. Revisit it, you may fall in love again!
