My trip with the Jasmine Design Team: An Inside Look at Creating Belsoie, B2 & Jasmine Bridesmaids

From the first sketch to the completed luxurious fabrication, come with me as I sit down with Jasmine’s lead designers, pattern makers, expert hand beaders, & esteemed seamstresses as I witness the transformation from a gown idea & sketch to swoon worthy bridesmaid samples.

Brainstorm. Draw. Create.

1

Sketch some more.

2

Choose fabric.

3

Chose the color.

4

Decide on the  type of lace for season’s lace gowns.

5

Create & choose crystal embellishments.

6

Expert pattern-maker produces a pattern & presents to the design team for approval.

7

Once approved, pattern pieces are laid onto the design team’s choice of fabric & color to be cut with a very steady hand.

8

Jasmine’s skillful seamstress will begin to hand sew pieces according to the expertly designed pattern. This includes brilliantly hand-pleating each and every pleat on every bridesmaid gown! Ah-MAZ-ing!

9

Once, the sample gowns are sewn together & complete, the designers will meet to view the collection all at once. This is when any changes can be made to the style, pattern, fabric, bead work, gown fit & sample color.

{An inside secret that I learned during this meeting is that each Jasmine designer strives to have the least amount of changes made to their styles. There is no prize, just the sweet satisfaction in knowing that they created a perfect gown.}

This is how the meeting looked from my point of view!

Across the World from Jasmine, with Love, XOXO
