All about a wedding dress

Ah yes, my baby is getting married. She is of course no longer a baby but she is my youngest. She and her best beloved have done a wonderful job of planning the wedding and getting things ready. I took on the dress making. Way back in November we shopped for a pattern and fabric. I made a fitting bodice and although it fit, it needed a bit of finesse. This weekend, I remade the fitting bodice and her father and I did a 3 hour (one way) turn around trip up so she could try on the dress. I am so glad that I remade it. It fits really good now and looks great (even out of muslin). I had the opportunity to work the pattern again and think how it will work when I line the finished product. I had the opportunity to see it on her with a good fit. We had the opportunity to visit with her one more time and share a yummy lunch. Now, I get to make the real thing!!! I am on call next weekend and will not have time to sew. The last weekend of the month is the designated time for making the real dress. It will be done and ready to take up when we go for the wedding. I'm excited!
