The Dress

So, I have had a few issues with the wedding dress. It just wouldn't be right if I didn't. My mom is making the dress. She cut it out and had it started from 2 years ago when Scott and I was going to get married. Needless to say I have gained some weight since Scott and I got together. She has been working on it and had it over half finished. So, I went and tried it on earlier in the week and couldn't squeeze into it. She assured me she could fix it but of course I had to come home and mope about it all night. Today, I went and tried it on again. Yes. . . my mom tore it apart and put it back together in a days time. She is amazing! Now it is a little big in the chest area. I have never had that problem in my life so she is going to fix that and the next time I go over I should be able to do the final fitting. After that all she will have to do is the final detail work which will take longer than making the whole dress because it has to all be done by hand.
