This is a picture of a wedding dress a friend made that I took 3 months to decorate with tatting. The same beaded edging is all the way around the dress skirt and train and all around the cathedral length veil. The bodice has appliqued tatted motifs all over it. The fabric of the dress was watermarked silk.

It was made in 1988, modelled by my (then) 16 year old niece, Paula.

Does it remind you, similarly, of a recent royal wedding dress?

The old designs never date do they?

Sorry about the quality of the picture, but there were no digitals in those days! LOL!!!

    Oh WOW! This is some beautiful work! If the dress is still in existence (or if you remember the pattern) would love to see a close up of the edging. Very nice!

    This is the best I can do, as it is not a digital photograph.
    The edging and the pictures are in my first book From Petals to Pearls.
    Every extending ring has a pearl bead and so you can imagine that I used hundreds!
    The edging on the veil was worked directly onto the tulle, but I made yards of it for the dress and sewed it on by hand.

    WOW! My youngest granddaughter is 2yr old. I would have to start now to have something like that finished in this lifetime! Absolutely beautiful. What a treasure.
