I've showed you the shoes and the hairpiece and now all that's left of the outfit is the dress. Actually, I still need jewelry which is another thing entirely! I knew I wanted something short and something made for me. I also knew that I wanted something that was modern yet feminine. I was at home working one day and decided to take a break to see what was new on Etsy...and there it was. I didn't hesitate. I contacted Liza and asked her if the material of the dress was dressy enough for a wedding gown and as soon as she said yes, I was sold. The material is a cotton sateen that is a really pale grey.
I was a little worried about having a custom dress made for me in August 2008 when the wedding wasn't for another year. Liza said that once payment was made, she'd cut and put the material aside and that in Feb/March I could contact her with my measurements or come down to Portland for a fitting. Done! I paid for the dress right then and there. Liza even sent me a sample of the material so I could match accessories to it.

It's lovely. Will this be with the yellow hair piece and shoes? (which have so far eluded you!)
What kind of wedding are you having?
Thanks! The hair piece is going to be grey but the shoes are going to be yellow.
The wedding is in this old Jazz Club that's been redone. I guess it's a modern, handmade wedding? We're inviting about 130 people but hope the final count is around 115.
