beginners' luck ( if you are my future brother-in-law, you can't read this post)

(sorry about the quality of the pics- we took them inside, at night)

The dress is finished. Michelle came out for final fittings this weekend and I sent it home with her. It turns out I am kind of a perfectionist. I made lots (really lots) of rookie mistakes, most fixable and all hideable but my seamstress friends won't be getting a look at that lining or it's little friend the zipper any time soon. I really wanted it to be perfect, wanted her to love it. I think she's happy, I hope she is. I love that she trusted me enough to let me do it. I think she's beautiful, no matter what she's wearing.
