The story behind the quick process of making a wedding dress is heartfelt.
– It all started when we found the detached house of our dreams after a long search, Veronika begins.
At first, my spouse and I discussed the wonderful housewarming parties that would soon be organized there. Veronika’s spouse thought that why not organize a wedding and a housewarming party at the same time.
Veronika was excited about the idea and soon a wedding was planned in connection with the move. The wedding day and the housewarming party were arranged just seven weeks later.
– Mother and sister immediately asked if I was going to knit the wedding dress myself.
At first, Veronika thought it was too much work on top of everything else. She tried to find the dress by researching different online stores. However, I couldn’t find exactly the right one.
In the end, Veronika ended up knitting the wedding dress herself. It was time to order the threads and design your own dream wedding dress.
Veronika is known among weavers as Kika. If you don’t see the embed, you can view the post from here.

– Fortunately, nothing spilled on it, Veronika commented with a laugh.
It took a total of 45 days and about 180–200 hours to make the wedding dress.
– On average, I knit for about 4–5 hours a day, but sometimes I knit for up to 12 hours during the day.

Making the wedding dress contained a lot of feelings of success, but in the very last meters, stress and fatigue had taken over and Veronika had to cover quite a distance.
Because of the dismantling, he had at least five hours of extra work ahead of him.
Despite the move, organizing the wedding and the pressure to publish her new book, Veronika finished her wedding dress just a few days before the wedding.
– I was always nervous about how the wedding dress would look and how it would fall, says Veronika.
The knitted wedding dress came through so much that Veronika sewed a silky petticoat under it herself.
The silk threads for Veronika’s wedding dress cost about 300 euros, and the fabrics for the silk petticoat below cost about 90 euros.
The huge amount of work was over and it was time to put on the finished wedding dress.
