satin 1980s fergie Wedding Gown with Puffed Sleeves and Full Train (Butterick 4743)

This dress was a special order from one of my previous costume clients. She wanted a gown similar to that worn by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York in the 1980s, with a few minor changes. I took a vintage pattern (Butterick 4743) and re-drafted it to fit (since it's out of print it was no longer available in her size).

I kept a dress diary for this gown while I was making it.
