I am a meteorologist who spends way too much time creating weather graphics (instead of fabric!) Hmmmmm... perhaps a "meteorological collection" is in order. I am a new mom again & love my kids. Their dad ain't too bad either ;-)

Here is the back of the bridesmaids dress:-) Do you want to recreate this dress? It's impossible to find anymore (it was an Anthropologie dress). I did all the work for you, starting by making the fabric (which you can purchase in my shop.) The woman who created the dress pattern for me and sewed them is AHmazing and I can hook you up with her contact information. Just email me: weatherkim@yahoo.com

Here's a close up. I got married at low tide on a sand bar in Maine. At high tide, there is usually 8 FEET of water covering this spot. We had a 3 hour window to get everyone on and off the sand bar for the wedding. Thank goodness it rained the day BEFORE the wedding as I had no back up plan. But I am a METEOROLOGIST, so I had some inside connections ;-)

The story behind these bridesmaids dresses is EPIC. Short version: Anthropologie made a dress similar to this. I was desperate to get them, but they were no longer available. Anywhere. I tried, trust me. After looking closely at online pictures, I was able to create a jpeg of the basic repeat of the fabric stripe (it was a ticking stripe.) I am not sure how I stumbled upon spoonflower, but thankfully I did! The hardest part was getting someone to make a pattern of this dress just by looking at pictures. That MAGICAL WOMAN who made my whole wedding come together with these dresses is Yvonne Branas of the "Golden Hands Seamstress" in Pittston PA. She can sew anything and does expert work. LOVE HER! My gals in my wedding party became known as the Bar Harbor Candy Stripers (NOT strippers! ha ha)
