I am looking for any book recomendations for teaching me how to make a beautiful wedding gown. I have a friend who is looking for an a-line dress, a sheath or very form fitted gown in lace, Charmeuse or something of the like. I am an experienced lay-mans (I learned my mom's shortcut techniques and have had no real training) sewer and am able to draft patterns, (only because my mom is a designer and she showed me how to do it). I make a lot of christening gowns (dupioni, velvet etc...) so I think I can do this with some real acedemic tips on construction. If you have or know of a book that directly discusses making a wedding dress like I've described I would LOVE the help
