The thing is, that dress that's too small? The latest one? It's totally my dream wedding dress. It's unbelievably pretty. And the fact that it didn't fit, or come in a larger size, was breaking my heart.

She is going to take the non fitting dress and about sixteen different measurements, and draft a properly fitting pattern and make me the dress. I need to pay her for materials and shipping. I insist on paying her for her time as well, but she told me I don't have to - but I have SEEN this woman's work, she's an AMAZING seamstress, and is WORTH her hire.
I have the best friends in the whole wide world. I really do.
AND I found a beautiful fabric for the dress.. one I like better than the original fabric! For only $3 a yard!
