Have you ever seen a wedding dress made from start to finish? This Sunday, May 27th, Designer Deedee Vicory from D’Lola Couture will be making a wedding gown to be given away directly on the 16th Street Mall (off Glenarm Street just outside H&M). This will be your chance to see the rolling out of the fabric, the cutting of the pattern and the final construction of a beautiful wedding gown. After the dress is completed D’Lola Couture will be giving away the dress through a drawing.

If you are getting married, or even know somebody that is getting married, this is an amazing opportunity to win a couture silk and lace wedding gown. Brides, sisters, moms (even dads) are invited to enter to win the dress throughout the day. Designer Deedee Vicory will start making the wedding gown at 8:30am and the final showing will occur at about 4:30pm. To win the wedding gown (valued at approximately $1,700) you will need to enter your name and email address at the event and be present at the final showing of the gown at 4:30pm.
