Wedding Dress Sewing Patterns
Where to Find Wedding Dress Patterns?
We’re all trying to save money this year. Wedding dress patterns are a great way to save money and have the gown of your dreams. You can find a wedding dress pattern in just about any designer or style you wish.
Unfortunately, many women are nervous about buying and using a pattern. But if you’re unable to sew the dress yourself, there are many seamstresses that make their living doing just that, sewing beautiful wedding dresses. Most are adept with applique, embroidery and design as well. Some charge by the hour, but most will give you a price based on the pattern and material used. While it may be cheaper to have a designer wedding dress made, it probably isn’t going to be cheaper to have a regular dress made.
You can buy books or check out wedding dress patterns at web stores. Most bookstores will have pattern books on hand. Many web shops carry the books for much cheaper. Amazon notoriously has used pattern books as well as new, for amazingly cheap prices. Ebay also has many wedding pattern books and the patterns themselves on sale.
Famous pattern shops like Vogue and DressesShop have thousands of patterns available for not just wedding dresses, but evening gowns and formal dresses. Many formal dresses can be used as wedding gowns and are unusual and different designs.
The cost is going to vary, depending on your fabric choice. Fabric runs anywhere from $4.00 to much much more. For silk or satin plan on $10-12 a yard. A large heavy skirt will take upwards of 10 yards of fabric. Ouch. But that is for a tiered long trained dress. For a sheath you’re looking at maybe 5 yards of fabric. Adding in appliques and beading and your price just went up. Of course, a modern wedding dress pattern won’t be anywhere near the thousands of dollars a typical Vera Wang Wedding dress will cost.
Take a picture of the gown you’d like. If possible, go to a bridal shop and try it on and take pictures in it. Get up close to get the details in the pictures. Once you have great pictures, take them to local seamstresses and check the costs. A Vera Wang dress usually starts at about $1750 and goes up to $10,000, but if you only play $1000 to have the dress made, you’ve got it .. forgive the pun.. made.
