I created this card for a bridal shower for an acquaintance. I used her bridal color, lavender, as my basis for this card. The background cardstock is lavender with etched flowers. The bridal gown has the appearance of hanging on a dress-form with a silver stand, as it would at a professional dress-maker's place of business. The gown itself is cut from real bridal satin


(yes, I actually purchased it from a fabric store) and features a hand-sewn bridal lace trim on the hem of the gown. The dress also has an overlay of bridal veil netting (also purchased from a fabric store) and is cinched at the waist with several layers of lavender organza ribbon to add further depth and texture to the card. All fabric pieces are hand-sewn (by me) and attached to the satin dress-form to keep the material from shifting or slipping. This was not an easy card to make but I enjoyed the challenge of making it. Yet another example of an idea in my head coming to life on paper.
If you would like to purchase this card, please note the dress form and netting are not customizable. Background cardstock and ribbon color are customizable.Card measures 6 1/2" x 5" and includes envelope.
