5/30/2023 0 Comments Lydia silk project canvas![]() ![]() The problem for me with both of those options was Switzerland's super high import tax: so even renting or trying on a dress (or two, or three) could cost me over a thousand Swiss Francs just in VAT since the tax is based on the dresses’ actual value, not the rental or try-on fee. I researched businesses that let you rent dresses and others that let you pick several to be shipped to you so you can “shop” from your home. At the time, I didn’t feel comfortable or even excited about traveling home to New York to shop there. My other options at the time felt slim: I knew I couldn’t go wedding dress shopping locally since shops in Basel/Zurich would have been closed due to the lockdown. I don’t know if this was a symptom of my aforementioned newfound fashion passion (again, this was winter of 2020, only a few months after finishing my first handmade dress ever–Birgitta Helmersson’s #zwgatherdress) or if it was a logistical choice probably both. I was however, strangely convinced that I wanted to make whatever I wore to my wedding. I didn’t even know I wanted to wear one, and if I did, I certainly didn’t know what style. My sewing room had no men’s or women’s sections, no size restrictions or associations, and no style, price tag or sustainability goal that seemed too out of reach.Īnyways, all this is to say that prior to getting engaged, I never thought much, if at all, about wedding dresses. It felt like the first time EVER that I could ask myself “what do I want to wear?” because suddenly there were no constraints. When I started sewing my own bags (in 2019) and then clothes (2020) I began to see fashion and certain designers in a new light, and my free time became suddenly consumed with learning about the construction of clothes and re-discovering my own aesthetic. I found fashion intimidating, shopping exhausting, and online shopping impossible. While living in New York (which is synonymous to my pre-sewing years) I wore oversized, all-black clothing predominantly from the men’s section of COS and random sample sales. So, here we were in December 2020, with our wedding date and venue confirmed (it would be outdoors) when Switzerland went into its second major lockdown, one that would force all non-essential business to close their doors and their employees, including us, to work from home until May.īefore re-discovering sewing as an adult, I wasn’t nearly as interested in fashion.
