Lace Leotards & Tulle Skirts 

I met one of my clos­est and dear­est friends my fresh­man year at Notre Dame. And now over 7 years lat­er, we were reunit­ed on cam­pus (at the Sacred Heart Basil­i­ca) for her wedding.

It was an absolute­ly beau­ti­ful cer­e­mo­ny and I was thrilled to have been a part of her big day!

Last spring, she asked me if I would make 3 flower girl dress­es for her wed­ding. Despite hav­ing lit­tle expe­ri­ence in chil­dren’s cloth­ing, I took the offer and fig­ured it had to be eas­i­er than wom­en’s cloth­ing. But lit­tle did I expect to learn so much dur­ing the process. This is not a bad thing, in fact I’m hap­py to have learned so much along the way!

My friend want­ed the flower girl dress­es to have full cham­pagne tulle skirts, cream lace (long sleeved) tops, and maroon/red sashes.

This past sum­mer, I kept my eyes open for lace, but I did­n’t start the project until I received mea­sure­ments in late September.

When I start­ed mak­ing mock-ups and shop­ping for fab­ric, I start­ed think: Can I make leo­tards with lace? The girls should be able to get in and out of the dress­es eas­i­ly.  Can I find a beau­ti­ful lace that has both ease and beau­ty (most stretchy laces are knit and can look pret­ty casual)?

Ulti­mate­ly, I decid­ed to have the girls wear lace leo­tards with tulle skirts. I fig­ured this would be the best option for mak­ing dress­es for girls long dis­tance (siz­ing would not have to be per­fect). Also,  the leo­tards would be more com­fort­able for the girls and the moth­ers would­n’t have to fuss with tuck­ing in tops all day.

Final Leo­tard

After search­ing all over the web and area stores, I found the per­fect lace!

Tulle Skirts

After nail­ing down the leo­tard design, I began the tulle skirts.

I found a real­ly good deal on a bolt cham­pagne tulle. I was excit­ed because it looked like a great price and the exact col­or we were look­ing for!

UNFORTUNATELY, some things are too good to be true! The tulle fab­ric was real­ly thin and looked noth­ing like the cham­pagne col­or online (see the pho­to below)! Despite this, I test­ed the col­or and tulle by cut­ting a few lay­ers of tulle and gath­er­ing the ends (see below).

I ordered this cham­pagne tulle online and it looked noth­ing like the col­or & qual­i­ty online.

It was not the col­or tulle my friend envi­sioned. Instead, I used tulle I found at my local fab­ric store.

THE SASHES

The bride want­ed the sash­es to match the brides­maid dresses.

The brides­maid dress­es were back ordered and did­n’t arrive until a cou­ple weeks before the wed­ding, so I did­n’t start the sash­es until a week before the wed­ding. Luck­i­ly, I had no prob­lem find­ing fab­ric that matched the col­or and fab­ric of the dresses!

One side of the sash was a bur­gundy mat­te chif­fon (same fab­ric of the brides­maid dress­es), while the oth­er side was a bur­gundy sateen fabric.

I could­n’t have been hap­pi­er with the final dress­es! They real­ly looked cute on the girls and went real­ly well with her wedding!

I shopped for the fab­ric & sewed the dress­es, but this was my friend’s design. And there­fore, I have to give her cred­it for design­ing these adorable dress­es! This is only a glimpse of how beau­ti­ful the cer­e­mo­ny was and I wish I had pro­fes­sion­al pho­tos to share with you!

      Thanks Stacey! I just sent you an email with all the infor­ma­tion. If you can’t afford both the leo­tard and skirt, you can pur­chase just the leo­tards. Take care!
