Dog-Earring Pages of Dresses

Thumbing through wedding magazines can be really fun. It can be way overpriced and ridiculous, but way fun too. Alex and I have been dog-earring different pages from money saving tips to D.I.Y. ideas to wedding dresses for me (for the UK wedding).

So far this is my favorite. Anyone know where I can get the sewing pattern for Alfred Angelo's Style #1148...? Also, any other suggestions for where Alex can get a suit tailored in the UK?

  1. Gorgeous dress!

    I can't help with the UK tailor (or the dress) but my partner got her suit tailored in China. It cost us $133, which is what... 70 pound?? I dunno. It was so good and fits her perfectly.

  2. Word of warning-- that alfred angelo looks GORGEOUS in the catalogs, but I saw it at a bridal show and it made the size 4 mannequin look quite large. I loved it too. Now, never tried it on... but I'd see if you could try it on before you find the pattern.
