Hello all,
I'm sure you'll remember me and my wedding plans waaaaay back in the Autumn of 2006. Well, I got pregnant, we had only a civil wedding ceremony, yadda-yadda. Now we decided to do it properly, maybe due to the fact that my brother got married too, and they're to have their church wedding in July. We are to get married in church in September (this time really!) and to me it seems that we have loads of time, especially since we're not going to make it that big an event.
Why am I asking you for help? The dress- of course! I'm sure that I can't do it myself; no time and not the right level of skill for what I want. Never mind that, there's a lady who knows how to do this kind of thing, including developing the pattern. However, I've designed the thing as far as I could. NO White Wedding for me, that's for sure. I used to talk about green, and some of you will remember that I had something like a Chanel suit in mind. But when I pictured myself in something stiff like that in front of the altar or at the banquet afterwards I felt cold sweat breaking on my brow. I don't want that! Can't breathe. Can't eat! (Even more important!)
So I racked my brains and tought of this: A calf-length underdress of taffetta, no sleeves, with an ankle-length chiffon overgown with three-quarter length sleeves. A little jacket, more like a bolero made from dupioni to ward off any cold drafts. And since I stopped dyeing my hair red and returned to dark blonde, green, especially the tone I had in mind doesn't seem so good an idea. The new colour scheme is greyish-blue, my eye colour. Taffetta is no problem, dupioni isn't either. However, I had thought of a printed chiffon or so and that seems to be a problem. I found this:
Thanks in advance,
