A BIG Project

DF and I are making plans to get married in June! We've been engaged for a while, and he moved in last August, so we've been progressing towards this for a while. We're going to have the wedding festivities in Vegas because it will make traveling easier for our guests. It's much easier to fly there than Albuquerque, plus there are a lot of fun things to do in addition to the ceremony.

Of course, there's a dress. And I'm planning to make it. I've been acquiring candidates for several months, but this was the pattern that DF liked best:


I'm making the short version. It's simple but I love the lines. It actually makes sense, because this is wedding #2 for me and the ceremony will be outside. At the volcano waterfall at the Mirage, believe it or not.

The fabric has been ordered from Gorgeous Fabrics and should arrive this week. Ivory silk and sequined mesh, baby!! I'll definitely be making a muslin, followed by an actual dress as a dry run before cutting into the good stuff.
