Wedding Blog

Well, I don’t think you can, because I forgot to show you pictures of the dress when I finished it a few days before I came to CA. Well, the history of the dress begins like this…

One day in a closet far, far away, a Poodle bride wanted to take pictures of her perfect wedding dress.

(If you are not a male Poodle you can keep on reading the rest of the story after the jump. )

OK, maybe it was not a closet far, far away, it was actually in my FMIL’s closet. B let me store the dress there so it would be as far away as possible from Mr. Poodle’s eyes.

And today I went there so I can show you all my labor of love.

After I unpacked my dress from the wedding dress pillow, the crinoline looked like a big mess. But since I wanted to wash it anyway, the wrinkles wont be a problem. The good thing is that the dress did not suffer from this, and after staying in my FMIL’s closet for a few days, it looked like nothing ever happened to it.

I am so happy with my dress and I can’t wait to have a sewing machine again so I can finish the sash and bolero I already cut while I was still down in Chile.
