Dress Fitting

Well I can't describe the feeling of watching my baby get her dress fitted last night for her wedding. She looked like an angel all surrounded in white. I can not go into detail of what it looked like but she was glowing and had a sparkle in her eye. I will miss her.

The dressmaker Amy found is in Hockessin named Jennifer's off of Old Lancaster Pike. The shop was old-fashion with all kinds of lace and frill's everywhere. You felt like you stepped back in time, when things like a wedding was thought of as a rite of passing and the most important thing a women could do, was to marry the man she loved. Like you read in a romance novel or as for me I heard and saw from my mom.

The way the lighting and the manner of the seamstress made you feel like you were the only one getting married ever!! The attention to detail, how the bride (in this case Amy) was nervous about having her gown cut and how she was going to make it like the way Amy had envisioned was all handle with kindness and you did not feel rushed. I definitely will be taking Beth there to get her gown altered also. So if you need a seamstress I would recommend the shop, her name is Susan.

So now the gown is in the hands of a wonderful seamstress but it is in good hands.

Will post how it turned out in about March when we go for finally fitting.

I agree Sally I don't think the children today are wxposed to it and what a difference it would be to have simpler times.
