Catie's Wedding Dresses
Plural, because I made six dresses for her wedding.
Here is one.

And here are some of the bridesmaids. The strapless dresses are the Eclair pattern, unaltered, that was also the basis for my flower dress in the previous post. The pleated-ruffle-collar dress is a pattern of my own making (I got some basic dimensions from Simplicity #2497.)

They didn't protect a few of their Facebook postings, which is how I stole these, but they are my personal friends and will forgive me.
Photos (so far) by photolodico. More to come from both her and redleafphotography.
