Bride To Be Turns To Dad For Wedding Dress

A British bride-to-be couldn’t find the wedding dress of her dreams, so she turned to the only person she thought could help: dear old dad! Katrina Wardrop had seen her father’s handiwork when he made a wedding cape for his second wife. The 21-year-old asked her dad to design and make her wedding dress, a task he accepted.

The pair scouted for material for the dress and turned up some cream-coloured French chiffon. Dad bought a tailor’s dummy and set to work. The two-piece dress was done about a month before the wedding and was a perfect fit and a perfect hit. But dad wasn’t done once the dress was finished. He also decorated the couple’s wedding cake.

Katrina said she was looking for a “one-off” dress and that’s exactly what she got. Many guests commented on how beautiful the dress was. Incidentally, dad was nervous about letting the bride-to-be see the full ensemble together, so he let her try on the top and the skirt, but never at the same time. Katrina didn’t see the dress in its entirety until the day of the wedding. She also said that she was thrilled that she and her dad didn’t fall out once while the dress was under construction.
