Experiment in every angle of the dress and consider everything that would make your sewing easy and stress-free. Also, having several dress sketches allows you to draw different changes on different sketches so as not to confuse you when you decide to make it final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Muslin Mock-up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want to cut your precious wedding dress fabric the wrong way. To prevent this, you must create a muslin mock-up dress so you can \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/tips-testing-fabric-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fit and test<\/a>\u201d the dress and do adjustments. It is always wise to not cut your fabric right away because remember, you have invested in buying that for your wedding dress. So a \u201ctrial dress\u201d or popularly known as muslin mockup dress is always a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Using Embellishments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple wedding dress doesn\u2019t mean it has to be \u201cplainly boring\u201d Consider using some <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/adding-bling-with-fabric-stencils\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">embellishments<\/a> on some parts of the dress. See to it that the embellishments suit your dress design and it doesn\u2019t ruin the fabric for your dress. Beware of embellishments that irritate your skin when you rub yourself into it. You wouldn\u2019t like a red scratch on your arm or leg on your very special day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compare Material Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-500x331.jpg\" alt=\"Sewing Your Own Wedding Dress\" class=\"wp-image-36229 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-500x331.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/331;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-500x331.jpg\" alt=\"Sewing Your Own Wedding Dress\" class=\"wp-image-36229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-500x331.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_164719091.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You decided to sew your own wedding dress because of many reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the reasons might be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>You really want to do it yourself<\/li><li>You are an expert in doing it<\/li><li>You are on a tight budget<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are sewing your own wedding dress because of the 3rd reason, might as well compare costs wisely. Do not just go inside a textile store or in a mall and immediately buy the first item you see. Try to look around and compare costs according to your chosen designs. It is very helpful to write down the different costs of the materials per store that you visit so that when it is time to decide, you have a reference for doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decide on Any Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"sewing your own wedding dress\" class=\"wp-image-36233 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/333;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"sewing your own wedding dress\" class=\"wp-image-36233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_296418113.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have finished the muslin mock-up dress, fit it and look at yourself carefully in the mirror from all angles.

Always stick to your timeline in sewing the dress and placing the embellishments, if any. It is always helpful to have a checklist along with the date that you plan to do it. Never, never trust the feeling that your wedding day is too far or the feeling that you only have to do finishing touches to your wedding dress. You will never know what might happen so better yet, be always on time, if not ahead of your sewing schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n<h2>If You'd Like To Support Our Site<\/h2>\r\nIf you want to help us continue to bring you a wide selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/free-sewing-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free sewing patterns<\/a> and projects, please consider buying us a coffee.\u00a0 We'd really, really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<center><div class=\"ko-fi-button\" data-text=\"Buy me a coffee!\" data-color=\"#ff5f5f\" data-code=\"\" id=\"kofiShortcode636Html\" style=\"float: none; text-align: left;\"><\/div><\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the Pattern and Design that Suits Your Body Type Let\u2019s be real.
