Photos, lots of photos!

Yes!!!

Today we pinned up the hem, cut and shaped the ribbon, and did various other housekeeping things.  But we took a passel of photos while we were working on the hem:

    The dress is very elegant, the coat positively regal! You look fantastic. Tell B. that he’s going to have to step up with serious haberdashery to compete.

    Absolutely gorgeous. I love how the lace and pearls turned out, and the fit from the back is perfect, both the dress and the coat.

    The fit of the back of the coat is absolutely delicious!! (as is everything else). I’ve loved following this adventure.

    Oh, you DO look like a princess!!! That coat is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen – so rich looking and the cut is perfect. I love the way it hangs in the back – so graceful. People are going to gasp in awe when you walk down the isle at the wedding.

    I’ve been reading your blog for a while, following the weaving and construction of your outfit, and I just wanted to visit to say – Wow! You’ve done such a wonderful job, a work of art, and you look so beautiful in your dress and coat! Congratulations on a truly inspirational creation – and my very best wishes to you and B. for a lifetime of happiness and joy together.

    So wonderful! I can’t believe how effortless it looks — it fits so well there’s no hint of the tremendous labor that has gone into it, if you know what I mean. I bet it’s very satisfying to see it looking so wonderful.
