I took it in and as luck would have it, my daughter had a dress she didn't want in the exact same fabric as the satin trim round the neck and waist so I added a band of it to the bottom. I also made a matching flower to put on a fascinator. I picked up a piece of contrasting fabric cheaply in Abakhan's fabric shop which I made into a wrap along with some of the satin.

Wedding outfit
It was my niece's wedding in September. After traipsing round the shops and not finding anything to wear at a price I was prepared to pay, I came across a dress in a charity shop that I fell in love with. The only trouble was, it was a size too big and the hem was a little uneven.

All in all I'm very happy with it, especially knowing that no one else would have the same.

ReplyDeleteThanks very much. If I'm getting dressed up I don't like to think someone may be wearing the same as me - although I'll never be brave enough to wear such stunning outfits as your's.
