Has anyone ever seen a design for a label to put inside a wedding dress?

My daughter is to be married soon and I made her wedding dress. She has asked me to "sign" the dress, and I can't find any labels to embroider. I have lots of frames and dozens fonts. But none of my fonts are small enough. (I don't want to end up with a label as big as the dress! lol) I'd appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.

What do you want? What size, what should it say and type of font, and format?

I would like their names, the date of the wedding and that it was sewn with love by her mother. I know...It's alot to put on a label. I was thinking about 2"X3" like a large clothing label. I don't have a preference as to the font, just very simple. I need ART format but I can convert. Thank you for asking.

I cannot digitize but the idea of Diana with the writing in a seam reminds me on a tiny font I have seen for babyblankets. Maybe this is something you can use? Or sewdoctor can help you (love her labels and wanna thank her that she is always such a helpful person).
Greetings, Bettina

You could stitch it on white ribbon or satin and stitch it inside the dress.

If my daughter would have asked me to sign her wedding dress (she had a simple wedding with an off the rack dress and very short notice), I would have written a message with the text of my embroidery machine around the bottom hem of her dress with a thread that matched the dress. I'm doing that now with their wedding quilt. I made the quilt blocks and quilted them for a quilt as you go project. Now each of the block will be put together with a binding type of sashing, which will have words of encouragement, love, and all of the mushy wedding stuff incorporated in to the quilt. But with that, the text will be stitched with a thread that will stand out. Good luck. Are you going to post a picture of the dress in "projects" after you finish?? I would like to see!! :)

I love the idea of a wedding quilt! Maybe I'll do that with the table runners from the reception!
by justonlyme 25 Sep 2011
That is a good idea. I wanted to get everyone to sign a book at my daughter's reception (delayed because her hubby is in the military and not available now) and try to digitize the notes and put them together in a wall hanging or quilt, but don't know if I'll be able to pull that one off or not.

When my eldest daughter was first married and I made her dress - long before I even knew about embroidery machines. I made her label in satin and just wrote and signed it in pen. She still has the dress and label firmly attached. We are so lucky that times have changes. Please post the finished result. Sarah.

I love that idea, too! But I'm also glad I have an embroidery machine!
