Draping: Mother of the Bride Gown

The asignment we were given was to create a mother of the bride gown for a wedding. We had to come up with our wedding theme and then make a dress accordingly.

The inspiration for this assignment came from the idea of a wedding being a celebration of two families, rich in culture and personality, rather than just a union. The bride would wear an extragagnt ivory gown, drenched in lace, bedding, and texture while voluminous in shape. The guests would wear exactly what their personalities demanded of them: sequins, tulle, shoulder pads! More is better!
