This Woman DIY"d Her Own Wedding Dress




There is something magical about going and picking out your wedding dress. On that day, you feel like the most important person in the world. As you emerge from the dressing room in the first gown you tried on, all eyes are on you and everyone anxiously awaits your reaction when you turn around and see yourself in the mirror. Sometimes it can be hit or miss. The first dress I tried on when I was wedding dress shopping, I was begging the sales lady to get it off me. It was hideous! Looked great on the hanger, but terrible on me. About six dresses in, I found the dress. If I could relive that day over again, I would. For one Imgur user, she wanted to be able to say that she made her own dress — well, that and also the dress she initially wanted was over $3,000! 


Take a look and see how she did it! I think it turned out lovely! Let me know what you think. 











It would be almost impossible to make a wedding dress without a mannequin form, and rather than wasting her money and buying one, this talented bride-to-be made one. 


She saw a YouTube video on how to make one with tape and a T-shirt. 




She doesn’t say how she got out of the dress form. 


She does, however, mention that her fiancé helped her, and he taped her chest a little too flat, so she added a bra to increase the bust size. 











This is what is called a “mock dress.” 


It’s made from pattern paper that you can sew. This saves on material and helps eliminate mistakes. So, I guess this is like a trial run. 




She used a cheap cotton fabric for the underlay. 


Looks great so far. I wouldn’t have made it past the pattern paper. Okay, that’s a lie. I actually would still be stuck in all that tape.

More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
