Every bride wants her wedding dresse to be special. Esther Andrews was one such person. To add a unique touch to her special day, Andrews decided to
hand-knit her bridal dress. Not just that, she also decided to do it while going to work every
day on the New York City Subway. 

In a video that was shared on Instagram, Andrews
explained the entire process and the time that went into giving the final shape
to her stunning tomato wedding dress.

The designer said that it took her nine
months, adding it wasn’t until a day before her wedding that she completed the
dress. “I hand knit my wedding dress on the NYC subway for 9 months and
this was the journey,” she writes in the opening frame of the video. “The
inspiration was a space pirate meets a tomato patch — because it was just silly
and fun,” she explains.

Andrews added that she used over 4 miles of
mohair lace yarn to make the layers of ruffles, long sleeves, and
other parts of the dress, which had a V neckline.

“When it came time to sew
together I was scared because I could only trust that it would fit — no time to
go back,” she wrote further. “Thankfully it was ok so I could add the little
tomatoes!” Not just that, Andrews said she designed and made the dress for
the groom, her best friend, as well.

The groom’s outfit which she designed
looked similar to that of an astronaut suit.

video.
