 Bridal Shower Invitation

I saw this style of dress/gown on Patty Bennett's blog and then found a similar one on StampingSharon's blog.  I just love these and made a robe to put over my dress.  I am hosting a lingerie bridal shower for my oldest son's fiance.  I thought it turned out so cute.   I made another pattern from vellum of the dress and drew a line at the waist.  Then I used a ruler to draw a line from the center point of the waist to the 4th scallop from each side and cut that triangular shape cut.  To make cutting all the dresses and robes out, I just held the pattern to each scallop circle and freehand cut around the pattern.  I felt it would take too long to trace around the pattern each time.  I had to do a little trimming after adding the robe over the dress, but I think they turned out so cute. 
I made the inside on My Digital Studio. I love how easy it is to match the colors to the card stock.  Great way to customize your invitation.

Happy Stampin',
Tammy aka Tarheel Stamper

I really need to get that scallop circle. I've seen these a lot and love them. Yours turned out really nice. I love the vellum overlay you did with the cut out.

Cool ... Brides always look pretty and stylish in bridal wedding attires. Did you hear about Indian brideal attires? They wear bridal lehengas and Bridal Sarees For Wedding and look really beautiful. little black dresses 2012
