My friend Gaby is designing and making my wedding dress. She is a Fashion Design major from WashU and now she is working on her master's degree in Textile Design at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Gaby and I met about 5 years ago while she was doing my make up for Carnaval, the Latin American cultural production at WashU.
It has been really hard for me to pick a dress... I've tried on about 30 dresses since getting engaged, to the point where it is not fun anymore. Gaby offered to desing and make the dress and finally today she showed me some designs and I think she really nailed it. She had a great ability to put my style on paper and came up with an amazing design that I absolutely love. Today we went to get fabric and this week I will try on a practice dress. I'm really excited to share this process with her and to learn all about the world of fashion. Of, course I won't reveal the design here, but I will keep you updated on the process.
