My dressmaker made the bridesmaid dresses for my sister's wedding and for my sister-in-law's wedding (both of which I had the honour of being a part of). We chanced upon her completely by accident. Back in 2008, my sister and I were looking at materials one day and a lady came over to ask if we needed help. We politely declined and continued to be overwhelmed by all the choices. Then another lady came over to ask if we needed help. We told her we would love some help. About half an hour later we had the most beautiful fabric in our arms and a handful of dress sketches (which she drew up on the spot) and an appointment to see her the following week!
This woman is undoubtedly the most talented designer and seamstress I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I found out last week that she was in charge of the 'cutting and sewing' team for the costumes in the latest Narnia movie :o !!!
The day after talking over my ideas with her she had already drawn up some sketches and sent them through to my inbox for perusal. She's incredible! I would love to show you the images, but Mr LG reads this blog and I want to keep the dresses a secret from him (sorry!). What I will show you is my inspiration for my fabulous girls! 
I love the flowy Grecian-inspired look. It will work well with the braided hairstyles I wrote about here. As the wedding will be in January, I plan to have short dresses, and the colour I have chosen is the mint green colour similar to the green dress in the left-hand corner.
What do you think?
