I Designed and Knitted My Wedding Dress in 6 Weeks

I Designed and Knitted My Wedding Dress in 6 Weeks
Welcome to my craziest and most ambitoius knit and crochet project ever, trying to design and make my own wedding dress, in just 6 weeks time.

This was a real intense journey and I documented the entire process from the very start to the very end, and there were definitely some highs and lows along the way. To make it even more intense, we also moved at the same time as we were planning the wedding and I was knitting my wedding dress, so yeah, this is definitely a very busy season of life.

And oh yeah, my knitting book also got published in the same time! :) I'll definitely share more about it and show all the designs in a separate video.

Hope you'll enjoy this once in a lifetime challenge I took on, thank you so much for watching!

She knitted and crocheted her own wedding dress, planned a wedding, moved, plus just regular life, all in just 5 weeks! Wow! Talk about driven!

The fact the dress essentially was knitted during days out and places you visited and days you loved is like knitting the good memories and love into your dress and wearing them as you get married to your love it just seems so sentimental and lovely xx

The dress knitted by her, the music composed by her dad. This family does it themselves because they want it done right. Your dress is stunning.

I don't know you, and I just clicked on this video randomly, but I nearly cried seeing you in your beautiful dress. Amazing job, you looked gorgeous in it! Congratulations on the wedding and the new home as well.

I cant believe you managed to knit a dress, plan a wedding and move house in six weeks, you are on another planet. It looked absolutely stunning on you. Congratulations and best wishes for your life together!

When I was seventeen I crocheted 7 dresses ( one for every day of the week). I received many compliments. When I was 21 I had my first child and used one of those crochet dresses to make a pillow sham and pram cover! For my wedding I always wanted to get married in midnight blue velvet, which I did, however I had two 10 year old bridesmaids and I designed and sewed their white dresses which were edged in blue. All the clothes for both my babies were crocheted by me or knitted by my mother. I have continued the tradition by crocheting little jackets for my two great grandsons, who were born this year.

I showed this to my grandma, who has been knitting all her life. She was very impressed that a young woman like yourself enjoys knitting so much and it so good at it.

I love the simpleness of everything in this video diary. Your dress, your home, your wedding / home warming combined, the music, the small intimate gathering, .. Everything done with love. Truly remarkable in this day and age of extravangance and over indulgence, just beautiful. God bless you both x

There is a beauty to that dress that you can't find in a bought dress. Elegant, graceful, feminine, even cozy and soft. Way better than anything bought. You're very talented.

[HelloMello]

OMG the way the bottom of the dress moves when you walk is one of the prettiest things i've ever seen. I don't think any other fabric could replicate the ripple effect that skirt and flare gives! it's like water.... so smooth and graceful!

The fact that this dress is usable after the wedding makes it 10/10 and it's gorgeous

I’m a dressmaker and tailor who recently took up knitting and this whole video was soo stressful for me 😭 i could see the problem with the top coming! But my god, the finished result is just divine.

[cariwallis]

The dress turned out more beautiful than many high end wedding dresses that I have seen, and the fact that you made it makes it so much more special! Congratulations

If anyone is getting shoulder or wrist pain while knitting, use a boppy pillow (pillow for breastfeeding u shape wraps around your waist). I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and this trick has helped me continue to knit. My physical therapist loved this so much she was sharing with other patients, so physical therapist approved.

Your wedding dress is absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth all the anxiety I’m sure it caused, along with moving right before a wedding.

[annefisher]

This may in fact be the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. Proves you don't have to spend a fortune to have a beautiful, meaninful and enjoyable wedding day. Your dress is an absolute treasure.

You may never read this in the sea of comments, but here goes anyway.
I love the dress, so beautiful, you are so talented. And how you managed it all at once, moving, dress making, wedding prep, work…. 🤯
I showed my mom too, she is 83, she is IN LOVE with your dress. She mentioned how, sadly, she did not really get to choose her own wedding dress.
Anyway, congratulations on your new home, your marriage, all of it.
Finally youtube recommends me a true gem.
Much love all the way from Curaçao ❤

I don’t know how YouTube delivered this video to me but I am SO impressed by your talents … absolutely stunning dress! Enjoyed every minute of this ❤

[chen]

The fact that you created/designed your own wedding dress, wedding planned, moved into a new home and still took time to record the whole process for YT is nothing short of incredible. Others may have crochet/knit their own wedding dress, but highly unlikely in six weeks. You are unbelievably talented. Your dress is simply stunning and truly a designer original. Your dad’s composition was beautiful. Congratulations on your future and life adventures together.

[Demiyah]

Awww, I had to cry a little over how cute it is to play your dad's original wedding composition. It seems that creativity runs in the genes. Beautiful dress and video!

[JudiStull]

The fact that you weathered moving, a book launch, planning your wedding AND designing and making your own dress bodes well for a long and happy life together! If you can do that, you can do anything! Congratulations to you both. And your dress is beautiful!
