Where can I find patterns for wedding gowns online?
I second what Ms. Politically Correct said about the conversation with your mother-in-law. Based on your other question, you really need to think this through and be sure she’s capable before you go ahead. If you’re really going to have her make your dress, than I recommend buying the book _Bridal Gowns: How to Make the Wedding Dress of Your Dreams_ by Susan Andriks. Don’t be turned off by the cheesy cover. This book really is the best. Making a bridal gown is basically couture sewing, which is a little different than sewing everyday clothing. I’m a good seamstress, but this book has been a great reference for me on the finer points of *gown* making. Also, this book explains how to combine patterns to design your perfect dress. I’m putting 2 patterns together- a vogue bodice + a butterick skirt to make my gown.
