or whatever you want to call them. The one's the eldest daughter was going to add to her bride's maid's dresses (to help hide the larger arms on some of the girls). Well, she bought the pattern and fabric and I told her would help (even though I'm already doing all the silk flowers for the event). Last weekend she told me that plans had changed. She found a fabric that exactly matched the cumberbund on the dress and that is what she is going with. Also, decided on a stole and has already had one made up (looks good) and one of her sister-in-laws is helping her.
Just as well....since the flowers are something I can do in my spare time. She did give me the fabric she had originally purchased for my own use. I think I'll make a long tunic-vest to go over a deep purple dress and wear it for the wedding. That way.....I'll match the bride's bouquet. I used some of it as a backing for the bouquet. That way some of the white flowers in the bouquet won't look too white against her ivory dress.
Have I mentioned that this daughter just has a way of spending money and more money?
