We borderline stalked Jazmin to get more details on this incredible gown. So here's the scoop. Jazmin found herself between a rock and a hard place when dress shopping. She needed a light weight dress (she got married in Mexico) and something affordable. When she didn't have any luck buying one she decided the next best option was to make it herself.
She crafted this delight out of linen with a light cotton lining. The bottom was a separate petticoat that she layered with torn pieces of the same linen as the dress, and a sheer chiffon type fabric. Muy caliente.
Now for the best part, the embroidered train! With only three month until the wedding, Jazmin called upon her friend River for help. With some design direction from Jazmin, River drew inspiration from Caia Koopman‘s work to embroider the train. River lovingly dedicated over 100 hours to finish it! Jeez, but totally worth it, because this gown is gorgeous! Jazmin is actually planning on framing it once she is able to clean the dress.
Hopefully now we can talk her into giving us more details on the actual wedding next! Until then, head on over to her flickr for more photos.

How do people get so talented? If I decided to make my own wedding dress, I’d end up wrapped in a towel with ill-fitting sleeves!
Oy, I know what you mean!

Wow. That is a gorgeous train. And one amazingly generous friend.
That dress is AMAZING! Hands down one of the best dresses I’ve ever seen! Love the details and the cut and the bride!

Wow wow wow. I have no words for how amazing that dress is…
How could you possibly decide which side to showcase in the frame?!
Muy guapa!
So, when are they starting their own business? 🙂
Wow!! Thanks for all the positive feedback on the dress! Making the dress was stressful for the both of us, just because of the time crunch, and definitely a labour of love- but I would not have changed it for the world. If anyone would like River’s info, please let me know.
A bit late…but I LOVED doing the embroidery for this! I think Jazmin is just wonderful and adore her fabulous self,but she is a class act and a professional, too. We were two stressed out long-distance collaborators, but the result was certainly stunning. Thanks, Jazmin, for the chance to be a part of your creation!
that is without a doubt the very best wedding dress EVER! so freaking cool. please quit your day job and set up shop on etsy.
I actually screamed when I saw this, I love it!
Extremely beautiful.
River is so talented, I do a little bit of embroidery, but nowhere near good enough to embroider on a wedding dress! x
I love your dress Jazmin! I just love what you have created. You look stunning 😉
Jazmin knows what’s up!
