While it used to be more common for brides and their families to make their own wedding dresses, today most women choose to buy their outfits for their big day.
And out of the number of brides who do craft their own wedding day couture, even fewer choose to knit their entire dress.
As she relates in the video, the knitting content creator didn’t have much time to make her dream dress. The idea sprung up after she and her partner, who had been engaged for a year, purchased a house. Lindberg agreed to her partner’s idea to combine a housewarming party for their new place with their wedding. So, the couple sped up their wedding timeline to coincide with moving houses.
The knitting influencer spent most of her waking hours working on the dress — including in the car and while out and about. Lindberg estimated that it took her about 200 hours of work to complete her knitted bridal attire.“Knitting is such a big part of my life, so I’m glad that I was able to make it an important part of my wedding day,” she wrote in the piece she created for Insider.
