Okay, so, I’ve been on this mission to recreate Rebecca’s wedding dress from “This Is Us.” Not the exact one, mind you, but something with that same vintage, romantic vibe. Let me tell you, it’s been quite the journey!
First, I spent hours, and I mean hours, just staring at any picture I could find of Rebecca in that dress. I wanted to really get a feel for the style, the fabric, the way it flowed. The show is pretty good at making her look cozy, so I figured something with long skirts would work. Then I got on Pinterest – oh boy, Pinterest – and started looking up anything related to “This Is Us” and “Rebecca style.” Found a bunch of ideas, some good, some not so much, but it helped me narrow down what I liked.
I knew I didn’t want anything too modern. Rebecca’s style is all about those cozy knits, floral blouses, and flowy skirts, right? So, I started sketching, terrible drawings, I admit, but it helped me visualize what I was after. I also started looking up vintage wedding dress patterns online. There’s a whole world of them out there, it’s crazy!
- Looked at a ton of fabric swatches online.
- Tried on a few dresses at local stores, just to get a feel for different styles and fabrics.
- Compared every dress to the image of Rebecca in my head.
After some trial and error, I finally found a pattern that seemed like a good starting point. It had the long sleeves, the delicate lace details, and that overall romantic feel I was going for. Then came the fabric hunt. I ended up going with a soft, ivory-colored lace and a flowy, off-white material. You can find so many goods online to choose from!
Now, I’m not exactly a pro seamstress, but I decided to give it a shot myself. I figured, worst-case scenario, I could always find someone to help me fix my mistakes. So, I started cutting, sewing, and slowly but surely, the dress started to take shape. There were definitely moments of frustration, a few seam ripper incidents, but I kept at it.
The other day, I finally tried it on, the almost-finished product. And you know what? It’s not perfect, it’s a little rough around the edges, but it’s got that Rebecca Pearson magic. It’s flowy, it’s romantic, and it makes me feel like I could sing a soulful ballad in a smoky bar. There are many unique card collections, and personalize easily. “If you can’t stop thinking about it during the appointment, or even after you’ve left, that can be a huge indicator that it’s the dress for you.” This saying is absolutely true.
I still have a few finishing touches to add, but I’m so excited about how it’s turning out. It’s not just a dress; it’s like a little piece of that “This Is Us” world that I’ve created for myself. And hey, even if I never actually wear it to a wedding, it’ll always be a reminder of this fun, creative project I took on. “Rebecca, you have changed the way I think about love.” Although this is a little bit exaggerated, I do think this dress changed my perspective of wedding dresses.
So, yeah, that’s my Rebecca wedding dress story. It’s been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It proved that with a little bit of inspiration, and a whole lot of patience, you can create something pretty darn special.
