Cotton Wedding Dresses? Glad and Surprised!


It's June (already!!) and my daughter was part of a group of people catering a wedding reception over the weekend.  That brought back to me the fact that I haven't posted wedding dresses on this blog for a long time.

While looking at wedding sites, I ended up on a Jamaican wedding dress website whose company made cotton wedding dresses in plus sizes.  Cotton?  I didn't know women were buying cotton wedding dresses or  that designers were making them for sale.  I'm very happy about that!  As someone who's cost conscious, I'm glad that women can buy beautiful dresses to celebrate their wedding day at prices that won't put them into serious debt.

Aren't they beautiful?  I'm excited and eager to experiment with making wedding dresses out of this affordable fabric.  I'm not done yet, here's more photos of wedding dresses in traditional fabrics.

New Additions to SK Clothes

I have three more pieces of clothing, one designed by me, and two designed by my daughter, to add to the SK Clothes collection.  The Party Dress (which I've named the dress I made) is made of three blouses: one was an aqua silk shirt, one was a burgundy polyester shirt, and the last one was a textured polyester sleeveless blouse.   It came out beautifully.  The white blouse, by my daughter, is made from a polyester fabric.  It has a drawstring at the hem.  The shorts are made from black cotton, and it's pleated from front to back.  It has a left side zippered one-button opening.  The pieces are roomy and comfortable.  The blouse and shorts could be dressed up with black tights and black low-heeled shoes or boots for a Christmas/holiday look.  Check my website portfolio at: www.wix.com/skclothes/SK
