For $220...

I bought most of the material to make my dress today! WOO HOO!!!!!! My aunt is actually making the dress starting this week. I'm soooo super excited. We'll need to purchase a few other little things later on, but the bulk of it was bought today! I'm so happy about the price! We got super deals (25% off at Fabricland and 50% off at a local fabric store in town).

I'll post some pics as soon as I can but for now, here's the link to the dress that is our inspiration.

Oooh, that dress is just stunning! Love it. And how insanely cool that you guys are doing this together! This is a first, and I thought I'd seen it all here on BDW! lol

Good luck and you know I cannot wait to see the finished product! (sigh)..I wish I could do something like..sew, or knit, or ..heck, walk and chew gum.

That's a very beautiful dress!!!! Love it!

My aunt made dresses as a part time work when her children were small but moved on to other jobs later on. She told me yesterday that mine was her 36th dress. I'm so freakin excited!
