I recently got married to a very wonderful man who loves me a lot and shows it in one way by accepting my rather large stash of fabric and sewing supplies which I have been trying to squirrel away in our new little apartment. But about our wedding…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For years I have had the fantasy playing around in my head of making my own wedding dress. I think it really began when I first learned how to drape garments and started making my own patterns. I didn’t really take this dream seriously because I figured “oh, I won’t have time,” or “that’s such a big project to take on, what if I mess up?” Then my husband proposed and the wedding planning began. I was faced with a very real decision. To make my dress, or not to make my dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My family, despite being my hardcore supporters, all balked at my statement when I finally announced that I wanted to make my own wedding dress. My mom just shook her head, knowing that arguing with me wouldn’t change my mind. Not wanting to cause too much trouble I decided to make an appointment at my local David’s Bridal store just to see if I could find the “perfect” dress. We went. I tried on dresses. I didn’t find anything that was perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
