I've been crying and praying all day, and good friends and I have been tossing ideas back and forth about the wedding dress.

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.

Enter farmleaf. Dear God, thank you for Farmleaf. Amen.

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!
