my dress is here!
ok well the pattern for my dress at least.
For anyone who knows me, it will come as no surprise that I am going to be making my wedding dress. It is economical, and frankly, thats how I roll.
I decided to go for a vintage 50s look, and what better way to do that then with a vintage 50s pattern. I found this really great site called SoVintagePatterns that literally has hundreds of vintage patterns for all sorts of things. For evening wear they had 5 pages to browse through. After looking through their patterns I finally settled on a pattern that is very sweet and is going to be easy enough to alter. Since the pattern only comes in one size it will need to be altered.
So would this count as my something old and something new? I mean the actual pattern is older than I am, in fact, it may be as old as my dad. crazy man.
Back in the day this pattern cost 75 cents! (it cost me much more than that I can assure you.) You may ask, how then is this going to be economical? well thanks to everyone who gave me gift certificates for JoAnn fabrics I should be able to cover the cost of the fabric. So it could come out to less than $100 for a one of a kind custom dress. Suck on that rich bitches (ohh sorry, i always get really annoyed that people would spend $$$$$$ on a dress.)
Oh yeah, now I just have to actually make it.
