I’m not a fan. I bet it’s heavy too – considering it’s jean material. Not to mention, I bet it would be HOT…

I think it’s a very pretty dress, and the bride obviously loved it, which is the most important thing. I pulled up her site, and she looks SO happy. She was a beautiful bride.

Great point, La BellaDonna! …and one that escaped me. I’m not anti-denim, since denim can be a lot of things. I just don’t much care for formalwear that translates jeans directly into dresses

TNBelle, that fabric is available as yardgoods as well. Your mom liked it as curtains, the designer liked it as a gown. I don’t quite see what the problem is.

Not to mention that “denim” comes in many colours … and prints. Many of them would make perfectly nice wedding gowns. I used a white brushed denim as a toile for one wedding dress I was making, and it looked lovely on its own.

I think this gown is adorable. I only wish she hadn’t pulled a Maria VonTrapp and made the skirt and sleeves out of old window hangings. I’m not exaggerating. My mother has those very curtains hanging in her home office. She bought them just a few years ago. I can’t decide whether to applaud this creative use of what’s available or to shutter.

In case anyone is into Western denim gowns, look in the ‘wedding gown’ section of Sat’n Spurs for plenty more.
