The video is about a woman's journey to get a custom black wedding dress for her upcoming wedding. She started by shopping for a dress with her fiancé and ended up picking out a gown with medieval sleeves. She loved the dress but knew she would need a second, more practical dress for the party portion of the evening. She decided to go with a black dress to complement her white wedding dress.
The woman wanted a custom dress because she felt it would complement the first dress stylistically but not upstage it too much. She met the designer of her first dress, Stephanie White of Odle, and they agreed to work on a custom black dress together.
They started by discussing the general theme of the wedding, which evolved from a midsummer night's dream in autumn to a starry night concept. The woman was drawn to more flowy dresses and a snug style, and she was particularly interested in details like sleeves and the neckline.
After discussing these aspects, they decided to go with a practical dress for dancing, with a dramatic flair and a deep V. The woman was concerned about the high neckline of the dress, but Stephanie and her pattern maker, Rita, reassured her that they could make adjustments to make it more comfortable.
The woman tried on the muslin version of the dress, and they made some adjustments to the silhouette and the length of the skirt. The final fabric they chose was a sheer black fabric with embroidered stars.
The woman was very excited about the dress and felt that they had found a winner. She felt that the dress was perfect for her wedding and was ready to move on to the next step of the dressmaking process.
