Maid of Honor Dress and More Wedding Photos (Part 2 of 3)

I quick­ly fin­ished my “Maid of Hon­or” dress before the wed­ding. I did­n’t have the time or ener­gy to think hard about what kind of top I should design. Instead, I free hand­ed a sim­ple bodice pat­tern for the top por­tion of the dress. I plan to use the embroi­dery piece for a more tra­di­tion­al Ukrain­ian blouse, so I was­n’t too con­cerned about fit or quality.

The skirt hem­line was a bit longer than I would’ve liked it, but I decid­ed to go the con­ser­v­a­tive route for the skirt since I went sleeve­less on top.

Over­all, I liked the out­fit and it was a great way to remem­ber my babcha 🙂

    […] The dress I wore to my sis­ter’s wed­ding was a way of hon­or­ing my late grand­moth­er. She was an immi­grant who made her own way in Amer­i­ca, who stitched clothes to pay doc­tor’s bills, and who want­ed to live well and work for pros­per­i­ty that she and her hus­band would give to their chil­dren. Instead of buy­ing a cook­ie-cut­ter brides­maid dress, I res­ur­rect­ed and com­plet­ed some­thing my babcha start­ed with her own hands, her own idea of beau­ty to be giv­en to a loved one. […]
