My instructions were that the bride has to be able to look at it and recognize her dress by Maggie Soettero. It is a loose translation but I think they will be very happy nonetheless....I would be interested in peer reviews...the dress is Arabella by Maggie Soettero. What would you have done to make it closer to the original? I made the dummy from papier mache. The dress is made from fondant mixed with modeling chocolate, Swarovski crystals for embellishment and edible pearls for the necklace.
