Wedding Dress Belt

so i finally got my wedding dress from online. love the dress, hate the cover up and belt. the cover up looked nice online, but in champagne it looks extra 1970s and hideous. the belt is too blingy and destroys everything it touches because the prongs holding in the gems are too loose.

so i made my own belt! using the materials from above, this belt ultimately cost only $30, way better than the $80 etsy belt i liked. and i love this one more. the colors of the ribbons and flowers are custom picked to fit my champagne dress, and the ribbons look deliciously vintage.

it is made from tulle, lace ribbon, satin flowers, and synthetic feathers. i found a belt making kit in my sewing tote (that thing has to be from the 1930s, i have materials in there that cost 2 cents. note to self, my keyboard has no 'cents' symbol.).
