Disclaimer update (4/22/2011): So, the other day, the embedding was working for the videos. Apparently, embedding hasn't even been released, so if you were able to watch the embedded clips, you got lucky. So, I have now included a link to open a new tab or window so you can view the videos on Socialcam.

Flower Girl Dress Preview
Kristen's wedding is sneaking up on us. I need to kick it into high gear and get things done! I swear, it seems like whenever we get one thing crossed off the list, two more things get added onto it.
I've got good news though! The flower girl dresses are coming along nicely. I've got one of them done, so I'd like to show it off.
Here's the before:
I could not believe how difficult it was to find a modest flower girl dress, at a reasonable price, in the color that we wanted. So, we ended up with a dress that we liked, at a reasonable price, but it was all white, which is not what we wanted. However, the style was something I could totally work with and alter a bit without ruining the dress.
So, I found some silver-gray organza and did this:
I stitched a layer of organza in under the tulle layers and simply added a couple flower to the sash. It turned out better than I expected, thankfully.
I've still got a ton of work to do for the wedding, but I'm really pleased with how the dresses turned out. Well... how this dress turned out. I've got to do the other one now. I'm also going to make a white satin headband with an organza flower for their hair. It'll look so simple and nice, I think.
