Dress up

It even zipped all the way up. Now to shrink all the way out of it!

  1. Was that your wedding dress? Regardless, it's lovely.

    And, I don't count that as your December picture. Only a few days left to get it posted. Tick. Tick. Tick. :)

  2. That is my wedding gown that my mom made for me- it was difficult to find a dress that had a bodice that did not dip too low in the front or too low in the back. I was really happy with the dress she made. At the fabric store I thought the material might be more for a couch but she convinced me that it would make up nice. The bolt had a black stain on it, so the store gave us the whole thing for $50- silk brocade! The hardest part was all the beads around the neckline- but they came out wonderful. Thanks Mom!

  3. Your mom did a great job. How interesting...both of our mothers made our wedding dresses. I don't think that happens much now.

    I could see how you would worry that the fabric would be too heavy, but it turned out beautifully. And you did get married in Denver in December, so a heavier fabric makes a lot of sense!

    And, there is no way I could fit in my wedding dress today. I weighed about 15-20 pounds less then. I don't want to be that small today, but 10 pounds lighter would be a good thing for me.
