Doing this was an amazing experience, I've learned a lot and I'm so glad I took that leap of faith. If anyone reading this is thinking of making their own dress, or a dress for a friend or family member, I'd say research well and think carefully about the amount of time you have, but if your hearts wants it then go ahead and do it!
I've enjoyed this so much, and gained so much confidence that one of my new years resolutions is to take on a couple of commissions this year - I'd love to do another wedding dress, a prom dress or some bridesmaids, so I'll be working on this site, thinking about things like contracts and advertising, and maybe even making up a couple of sample dresses.
Thanks for reading, I'll be trying to update my regular blog weekly from now on (starting with the last 3 months worth of sewing) so hopefully you'll keep reading!
Bye for now X
