I am definitely not a creative person which is why I'm not in the APD program. However, I do tend to look at designs and think of how I would change them if I could. One dress in particular has always been a favorite of mine and if I had the chance (and money) I would have made with a few changes.
The gown worn by Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" as Eliza Doolittle has always been one that I dreamed as a wedding dress, but of course when the time came it was not feasible and I could not find anything similar so I settled for something else that I was never really happy with.
As beautiful as the original was, I wanted to change the short sleeves to tiny beaded straps to match the beading on the rest of the dress. I also wanted it to be more fitted overall and have a short train made from the sheer overlay of fabric.
The original color was perfect for a wedding dress, but for a dress for another occasion, I would change it so it was just barely aquamarine (almost unnoticeable) just for the sheer fabric on the top.
But seeing how I'm not creative and not a design student, I'm not really sure that any of that would work anyway. :)

This is a very beautiful dress, it very brave of you to put your wedding dress idea up here, lol! I think that you idea makes sense and should work. And you don't have to be an APD student to be creative girl! You should be more confident because you clearly have great ideas!
