Meagan's "Wedding Dress"

For quite some time now (maybe a year?), Meagan has been asking me to make her a wedding dress. It mostly started the first time she saw Enchanted. She loves Giselle's big poofy wedding dress. So this year I finally decided to make her one for Christmas. Here it is:

It was a lot of fun to make. I got really tired of having to zip up Meagan's other dress-ups, so there are no zippers or velcro or anything in back. Instead, he bodice is made of swimwear material, so it's stretchy, and she can take it on or off herself.


I put a butterfly on the top of the bodice, because Giselle has one there. :)

There are matching butterflys on the gathers of the lace overskirt. You can see them if you look hard. I made a matching veil out of the same lace. I can't wait to see her face as she opens it. I'm fully expecting her to wear it a good part of Christmas day. She'd probably wear it to church if I let her. Hmmm...maybe I will?
