MERETE DRESSMAKING
My name is Merete Donnelly.
I was born in Denmark where tulips are grown in nearly all gardens. I began sewing my own clothes when I was 14 years old. I have lived in Australia for many years. 30 years ago I began sewing wedding dresses for family and friends and I love to assist brides to look their best. I am creative, love a challenge and have lots of hobbies. dress making embroidery and smocking knitting and crocheting rug making growing vegetables |
My WeddingThe first wedding dress I have
sewn was my own. My grandmother took me to a closing down very old fashioned material shop and I found the lace material seen in the photo back ground above. The dress is still in perfect condition and can be inspected at my home. |
Melissa and RobertMelissa got married to my nephew Robert in Milton Catholic Church.
Melissa came 3 times for fittings and was very pleased to get exactly the wedding-dress she wanted. The sleaves are made of fine lace. |
Jodie and PatrickJodie is my daughter in law. The wedding was in June and she wanted to be warm and comfortable. The dress is a 2 peace and made from Dutch Satin. Patrick and Jodie have been blessed with 3 children and live not too far away, so I can visit them on a day trip.
