As LS Lindsey Bookham prepared for her Oct. 8 wedding date, her dress choice became slightly more complicated than finding something white. “We had decided that my husband was going to wear a kilt, so we had to find a dress that would compliment,” says the deck hand in HMCS Regina. “Usually it’s the other way around. The groom matches what the bride has chosen to wear.” After months of searching through boutiques, magazines, and the Internet, she eventually decid- ed to match the kilt and go with a tartan dress. “Most of the traditional stuff didn’t really catch my eye,” she says. “I thought maybe a vin- tage dress would look nice with a kilt, but the tartan dresses really struck me. When my mom was married 35 years ago she wore a tartan skirt, so having something similar was special to me.” Unfortunately, her choice of dress didn’t quite narrow down her options. Just as there are end- less cuts, fabrics, and styles with traditional white wedding dresses, she found out wearing a tartan would be no different. “I was told that whatever tartan you wear it has to have meaning for you,” she says. “I thought of using the maple leaf tartan, which was part of my school uniform as a kid; black watch, which any Canadian could wear; Mackay, my family’s tartan; Alberta, where I was born; but decided on Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) because my husband and I met in the navy, so it would have meaning for both of us.” In fact, LS Bookham’s naval roots extended far beyond just her and her husband. Her father was a naval reservist in the late 1960s, and her grandfather and great-grandfather both served in the British military in the First and Second World Wars respectively. It was through her father she connected with Sadie Livingston at the Victoria Highland games in May. Livingston has been sewing kilts and dresses for about 50 years and owns Scottish Design, a business that focuses on making tradi- tional Scottish apparel. “I make everything myself,” says Livingston. “I have made many wedding dresses over the years but this was a first using the tartan.” At the games, Livingston showed LS Bookham a variety of drawings of sleeves, necklines, fronts, and backs from dresses she had made previously. LS Bookham indicated which ideas she liked and Livingston began her custom design from there. “I had a very simple idea and she worked her magic,” says LS Bookham. “She did give me some options to choose from so I could really make it my own. I’m sure she would have allowed me to have total customability, but I figured since she was the seamstress and had all the experience I should let her make the big decisions.” Taking the reigns, Livingston made two visits to LS Bookham’s house to measure her and make alterations. Using white satin and a man- Trevor Ball Photography made fibre tartan, the dress evolved into a pat- Above: LS Lindsey Bookham poses in her tartan wed- tern reminiscent of an 18th century Highland ding dress with her bridesmaids during her wedding look complete with an underdress, an overskirt, on Oct. 8. and a corset. Livingston even made a matching Left: Sporting a matching tartan, LS Bookham’s dress for LS Bookham’s baby daughter. daughter, Juno, takes a moment to congratulate her “I received quite a few compliments on the mom on her wedding day. dress,” says LS Bookham. “People really liked how I was able to take the overskirt off and just wear the white dress with the corset after the dinner. They also commented on how it was quite unique.” Now two months removed from the wedding, LS Bookham is unsure of when or if she’ll ever have the opportunity to don the dress again. One thing is for sure though, she’s not getting rid of it. “I am holding onto the dress,” she adds. “I am not sure if I will ever be able to wear it again, but I wore the tartan skirt my mom had worn when she got married so maybe I will keep it for my daughter Juno to wear someday.” November 28, 2011 LOOKOUT • 7 SSundaesundaes aatt seasea
