You're using "pea silk?" I'm wondering if you mean "peau de soie," (po-de-swa) that is essentially bridal satin. That type of satin can be made from silk or polyester. I have a Christmas ornament made from the scraps of peau de soie from my gown, which was made by my mom. My gown is an heirloom now that I hope my girls will wear -- a DIY gown is a great way to create something special to pass on. Thanks for the video!

@mwnjw actually I said peace silk but it definitely sounded like something else:) Such a good idea with the ornament! It is great to have extra fabric to do things like that. Thanks for watching! xoxo c

@jpinkroses haha, a lot of my friends think I am crazy for doing it. A lot of people out there have never sewn anything before so the thought is the insane to them. But it really is not as hard as it looks you just have take your time. Good luck with your dress! I would love to see a picture of it when you are done! xoxo c

a poofy cinderella style wedding dress is actually really easy to sew. it just consists of a sundress top, and a massive tutu!!!

I think the pattern for the top is butterick. it was onlyl 5.95
