Edit ArticleHow to Make a Wedding Dress Five Parts:Preparing your DressTaking MeasurementsChoosing your PatternFollow your PatternSewing your DressCommunity Q&A Many women picture their wedding dress from the time they are very young. Sometimes, that picture doesn’t translate to a dress ready for purchase at the time of their wedding. Luckily, you can make your wedding dress to be as unique and as close to your dream dress as it can be. If you want to include some of the fabric from your mother’s dress for “something borrowed,” this is a great way to do so. This process takes vision and time, but makes for a one-of-a-kind dress on your big day.

Determine the basic shape of your dress. There are many wedding dress shapes. You may have pictured one that doesn’t work for your body. The best way to find that out is to go try on some wedding dresses. Tell them that you wish to try on every shape in order to decide on just one. Apple body: empire waistlines, A-line silhouettes Pear body: ball gown, A-line silhouettes Rectangle body: mermaid, empire waist Hourglass body: natural waistline, added waistline accentsFlattering your body is the most important part of choosing the right shape for you. Other aspects go into your decision. They can help lead you toward the right fabric for your dress as well. Location of the wedding is important. If you’re on the beach, you want a soft, light, and flowy shape and fabric. If you’re having a wedding in a grand cathedral, consider the season along with how much you want to stand out on your day in order to choose the shape and fabric. Determine your skill set.

Some shapes and fabrics are more difficult to sew. If you’re new to sewing, choose a more basic shape and a fabric that allows for mistakes.Find a material that you love and that you can work with. You may like the feel of a fabric but not the way it flows. The only way to be sure of this is to try dresses on in multiple fabrics, just like you did in multiple shapes. Of course, you can choose any fabric that you’d like, but there are popular fabrics for wedding dresses. Chiffon: Delicate, sheer, and often layered Jersey: Elastic knit fabric, lengthwise and crosswise ribbing Moire: Heavy, silk taffeta, wavy design Organza: Crisp, sheer, stiffer texture Satin: Heavy, smooth, and high sheen Silk: Expensive, comes in multiple textures Taffeta: Crisp, smooth, slight ribbing Tulle: Netting made of silk, nylon, or rayon; used mostly for skirts and veils.Now that you have a good idea of the shape you want and the fabric you’re going to use, draw out what you want your dress to look like.

Sketch front and back, and sketch any details in a closer portion if needed.Measure at the fullest part of your chest. Be sure to wear the bra that you’ll wear on your wedding day when taking measurements. You should be wearing nothing on top of the bra.Stand naturally with your heels together in a relaxed position. Measure the fullest part of your hip, being sure to go full circle.This measurement should be at the natural curve of your waist. The smallest waist area is approximately 1” above your belly button. Don’t pull in your stomach unnaturally or pull the tape too tight. Measure hollow to hem. This is taken from right above the collarbone to where you want the bottom hem. Make sure to account for the shoes you’ll be wearing on your wedding day. Make your own sewing pattern. Buy a sewing pattern. Once you have your fabric and style picked out, you can go to fabric stores and look through pattern books or you can order online. Each will be rated by level of difficulty.

Make sure that a key/glossary, layout, and step-by-step instructions are included. When you order your pattern, it is easy to combine multiple sizes to get the pattern as close to your measurements as possible. Use the right material.Now that you have your patterns, you’ll have the exact measurements that you’ll need to construct your dress. Go to the fabric store and pick up your fabric. If you’re going to use lace, you’ll want a base fabric. You’ll attach the lace overlay over this base layer. Some fabrics will be on special order. As soon as you decide on your fabric, make sure to ask if you need to special order it or if it will be available the day of.Lay the pieces of your pattern onto your fabric and pin it down with straight pins. Follow along the side of the pattern to cut out your fabric pieces into the right size and shape for your dress. Do this with the inside of your fabric facing up. If you plan on adding pleats to your dress, make sure to cut extra fabric.

Pin the fabric together. Once all of your fabric pieces have been cut, pin them together (inside out). Keep your pins along the 1.5” of seam allowance from your pattern. Use a sewing model form to help you visualize the fit of the dress as you put it together. Add texture to your dress. Once your fabric is pinned together, fold, bend, and gather it to accommodate for the curves of your body. If you plan on pleating the skirt, pin it to hold the pleats and sew over the pins. You can pull the pins out later. Sew all the way to the hem. Try the dress on.Take the dress off and sew over the pins to make the necessary adjustments to your dress. Now is also the time to add embellishments. If you have a jeweled belt, lace applique, or any other embellishments, add them to your dress as the finishing touch.Cut any loose strings, make one more round of adjustments, or sew something blue into the inside of your dress if you need to. After this, it’s ready for your big day. Follow care instructions provided with the fabric.
