Dress alert! yayayayay
So I thought I should post a couple of things on here today. I had a momentary freak out for no apparent reason. Thankfully my mom is awesome so I feel much better. Bought the cake topper today
So I have bought my dress!!! yeah!!! I tried on more dresses then I think possible. The first place I tried on like 30+ and I was so convinced that I found the one. I love vintage and I really don't like bling. So I was having so much trouble finding something that I imagined. I picked a dress from Maggie that was lace but it was sold lace with no beading and when I looked at it again it was so boring. so the last time I went to Long Island I went to a shop and tried on another 20+. Narrowing it down to 3. Looking around the shop just to make sure I had seen everything I noticed a dress shoved all the way in the back of a rack (I had to go into all the dresses to see it) It was totally different then any of the others I had seen before. Being the type of person I am, not able to make a decision, I slept on it for a week and then went back and tried on 2 of the dresses and eliminated the other one immediately and decided on this one.
Sorry took down dress....df has been poking around too much, don't want him to see
I'm altering it so that the lace hangs past the white and the train doesn't have the white under it either
I have ordered more of the same lace and i'm adding cap sleeves to it.
There are jewels at the top of the dress that go down the back to the end of the corset, hard to see in picture
Jewelry i'm not completely set on still looking around. My mom got me a set of pearls for my 21 birthday. I mention that i might wear them and my mom was very excited so that sort of decided that. So I am looking for a fancy pearl bracelet, something like this (maybe less expensive)
and earrings with pearls and diamonds but I haven't found any yet. I want them a little fancy like the bracelet because the necklace with be simple.
something like this
I worked yesterday on programs. I made fans to look like a clam shell. There will be Blue and Yellow ones, with opposite ribbons and brads
