    Hello there my fellow Bees!

    I've been snooping around the boards for at least a month and have gotten lots of great advice from you all.  Now, though, I've got a question for you all...

    I've fallen in love with a designer dress.  It is $3000 and way out of my price range.  It's Alvina Valenta style#9801.  I went and tried on the dress today (and no, it didn't fit.  My caboose is a size 14 and these dresses were a size 10) and fell even more in love.  My question to you all is, how difficult do you think it would be to recreate this dress through a professional seamstress?

     

    Thank you all for your input.

    I'm no seamstress, but that looks like it might be pretty easy to recreate.  It seems to have simple lines, and the lace is just a band.  I would research some dress makers in your area and bring in the pictures.  Just remember to buy nice fabrics; that is what makes a gown!

    not hard if you find a talented seamstress. Find one that can create her own patterns
