This dress was knit for the New Year's Eve 2008 wedding of a dear young friend.

The ceremony took place out of doors in the snow by a cabin in the woods so the knit was very fitting. It was worked in an off white superwash wool from Italy, very soft but held it's shape.

I worked the hem and cuffs in a lace and added a lace band around the hips for further accent. The skirt was worked straight with godets in the side seams to give it a little more flare.

Though the low V neckline front and back did nothing for warmth it enhanced the bride's youthful beauty.

I was very happy to design and knit this garment.

 

I would be very happy to make one for you too.

Please enquire.

This ballet length dress was knit for the Spring 2009 wedding of Heather in the Carribbean. I worked it in Mercerized cotton and added some wonderful ribbons in the back hem and at the sides. The sleeves were short and lacey.

This was a second wedding for a mature but still blushing bride and I was so pleased to be 'the one' she chose after three other selections elsewhere!
