You don't know how to sew. So you bought a dress to sew. And you don't know how to put it together. Here's what you do with it, you've got two options:
1. Take it to someone that knows what they're looking at
2. Burn it.0 -
You are kidding, right?0

Your new mother in law kinda sucks for buying you $7 worth of random fabric and telling you to make your own dress even though you don't sew.
Maybe you just shouldn't be getting married.0 -
ya thanks0

I was serious in taking it to a seamstress, they can be quite helpful. You can always say "the seamstress accidentally.........", might be your best bet in getting out of it?? In all honesty, I hope you're able to salvage this with out hurting her feelings. This is not the project you want to start sewing with!
**To buy the equipment you need to make it wwill run about $100 easy unless she gave you a sewing machine which probably won't have the ability to sew it properly.0 -

My thoughts exactly. :drinker:0 -
Aww, poor original OP0

Okay, master of the obvious comment...wedding dresses are really complicated. Really really complicated. So your best bet is to find a seamstress/tailor to help you out. Maybe call a dry cleaner or bridal store for referrals (depending on the size of town you live in). This being said, it could get pricey (do you even know what size the dress is?). It could quite possibly be cheaper to purchase a ready made gown.0

she saw me looking at the fabric and knew i had been researching "how to make you own wedding gown".. i think by making it myself it would be a special touch.. the bag contains two dresses.. the top is complete on one of the dresses and the bottom is complete on the other one.. i just need to know how to peice them together.. but im getting no where with all the smartass people on here trying to be funny! i appreciate it everyone! its good to know theres still good hearted people out there!!!looking for advice from someone thats has made there own wedding dress! wasnt looking for smart *kitten* comments!!!! and actually my soon to be mother in law bought it for me.

Without knowing what the pieces are, what the fabric is, what the dress is supposed to be .... people won't be able to help you.
I do sew. That's why I'm saying this.0 -
I can sew.
I would never sew something that came without the pattern, the instructions, or that someone else cut out.
Do you even have a sewing machine? and I mean a good one, not one that costs $69 at costco.
Seamstress is the way to go if you like the dress (how do you even know what it looks like???)
The dress even after it is sewn will need alterations to fit you, do you have a dress dummy? that is your size? and your shape?
I second the garbage suggestion and the burning suggestion. Those are the best help you can be given.0 -

This is a sign that she adores you...you know this, right?0 -
WIsh I could help you but I have no idea how to sew. I can't even sew on a button lol Good luck with the dress. I hope you find someone who can help you out.0
-
I'm a tad confussed, whos idea was it to buy the dress?
I assume that you did look at it and that its the rightt size.
Was there any sort of pattern to come with it?
Wether or not u can finish it will depend on several things.
How many pieces is it in?
If its 8 or less you may be able to work it out.
Have you any experience at all with sewing?
Do you have a sewing machine? If not its going to be very difficult.
You will probably need help from some one with experience and possibly a manequin/ dummy. ( possibly MIL can help )
Fist step is to get out all the pieces and work out what goes where.
Once you've done that , pin them together ( good sides facing) and sew.0 -
Just got the BEST mental image of the gif showing what happens next...
It's only slightly like this:
OP - sorry, no help to offer. Your MIL sounds kind of cheap
If money's a factor, there's always Goodwill, they have tons of wedding dresses... as long as you don't buy into the stigma of having someone else's dress (whole). 0 -
thank youWIsh I could help you but I have no idea how to sew. I can't even sew on a button lol Good luck with the dress. I hope you find someone who can help you out.0 -
I would recommend trying Google.0
