In June, 2011 my sister got married. I was lucky to be her personal couturier. With me in Kansas City and her in Atlanta, most of the fittings took place over web-cams. I would make a mock-up and mail it to her. Then, over the internet, she pinched and pulled here and there and told me how much and I made the adjustments to the patterns. I started with a $99 dress and chopped it to bits for parts like zippers and tulle. The rest was all my own. Quite an unconventional way to go about the project, but hey, that's my style!
