22 Meters of Tulle, One Dream Dress 💫

Every layer of this gown was built from scratch — 22 meters of soft burgundy tulle, carefully shaped into something magical.
The skirt is made with two double-circle layers for that effortless drape and flow, and underneath, I built a structured 3 tiered underskirt by hand. Each tier was sewn and layered to create volume without bulk, so the dress feels weightless. The hem is finished with 50 meters of horsehair braid to help it sweep gracefully across the floor.
From cutting and layering to sewing the first tier upside down (so seams disappear), every detail was planned for balance and beauty.
It’s projects like this that remind me why I love design — transforming raw fabric into something alive, full of movement and story.

Thanks LuvBugs by Laura Photography! Your photography brings every dress to life in the most incredible way. I'm constantly amazed by how your talent elevates every piece I sew. ❤️

We should talk about the dress. Many have asked where I get my dresses from. Gaia Chan is a very talented Calgary dress maker and has made many dresses for me. I must say this one is a beauty!
