Or...
I drew this too, I was thinking about trying to incorporate it with the invites somehow. This is obviously of the era too, but I don't know how I feel about sheath dresses exploding into ruffles and feathers at the bottom, it's a little much I think. Could have short hair with it though which would be stellar. Then again, Drew really wants the long hair so alas, looks like we'll need to go with the stuff below:
And here's 1koo_3. I really like this shape and the girl is a little bit shorter than previous models. Plus this is a Chinese company so if I'm unsure of how it might look on a small person like me I only need to find the dress on one of their Chinese models. But anyway, here's satin going into net. I like this a lot, but I really don't like the flower trail thingy above the fabric "bunch". It's a looser bunch so that flower thing probably helps to keep the fabric tighter but if they wrap it tighter I won't need that. My bunch would be higher too so it can immediately go to the lace layer before going back into satin and then net or skip the 2d satin layer and go net. I'll sketch my idea and post it. I'm thinking the beading on the bodice should be similar to the style beading on the bridesmaid's flapper dresses.
We'll call this 1koo_2. This is such a neat dress but it isn't the era we're going for and the shape is too bell. Again though, love the wrap and it's put together better. Also great use of layering here, I like the way satin leads to lace, but I think having a third layer (net) would be best for the bottom. It'd add even more dimension (they did it with ruffles during the 20s but I really dislike ruffles) so I can do it with layers. It'd be a lot different than other wedding dress styles too and with bright heels and big punk hair, can't go wrong!
