My mom in law made my dress, we picked out two patterns, then decided wich was the best one. She made the basic pattern, then we put on the lace that i liked and one style of the dress had lace only on the front and another had it on the bottom, we put the lace in both places so if you know someone talented, you could alter it that way if need be. or even sew on some beads with your colors then it would look a little more different.
