And this is what my dress looks like.
But don’t worry, I’m not. I knew that having my mom make the dress would mean we’d be pushing it out to the last minute, but I know it will be done and beautiful. Every time I get to play ’dress dummy’ I get so excited about how it’s shaping up.
But, oh my poor mother. Momma Moonbeam is on her 4th version of the top. The pieces above are some of those pieces of what will hopefully be the final version.
And just for fun, here are some pictures of a flower girl wearing my mother’s veil and my grandmother’s/mother’s wedding dress.
Yup, the one we’ll be cutting up very soon for all that beautiful lace.
Wish us luck!
Wow, good luck!! I can’t wait to see it all finished!
GOOD LUCK! I’m sure it’s going to be so beautiful. What’s more though is how meaningful this dress will be - handmade by your mom from pieces of an heirloom dress? To die for 
Oh this is so exciting!! I hope you post lots and lots more pictures of the process. I’m making my dress too, and need all the inspiration I can get!
Oooooh, good luck, I bet the dress is going to be gorgeous!!
Wow! Can’t wait to see how your wedding dress will look like. Hopefully it turns out to the gown of your dreams!
Good luck!! I’m sure its going to look incredible
Good luck! I can’t wait to see what it ends up looking like.
I’ll cross my fingers your mom gets it all done and you don’t get poked! My mom is a great seamstress, but she’s a little willy-nilly with the pins sometimes!
Good Luck! and your flower girl is adorable, what a Ham
I can’t wait to see it! Ohh the suspense! PS- Is that Dupani Silk? Perhaps my fav fabric ever…
A week out?!?! And you’re this calm! You have my respect! I know it will be lovely but I’d be STRESSED!
Heck, I’m 8 mons out and I’m already stressed!
@pvaulter718: I’ve just been poked a few times so far.
@Miss Pretzel: Indeed it is dupioni, 10 yards of it!
Thanks for all the well wishes.
I’m nervous for you, but I’m glad you’re confident! Having my dress custom mad was a nerve wracking process (and my dress wasn’t finished until 3 days before the wedding!)

Mrs. Moonbeam, Los Angeles/San Antonio Age and Occupation: 26, Intern Architect Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Studio Analyst, aspiring Screenwriter Engagement Date: May 20, 2009 Wedding Date: November 2009 Venue: Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church (LaCoste, TX) and Mary Gray Events Center (Castroville, TX) About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, but after college I moved to Seattle for a couple of years and loved it. Then I followed my beau out here to LA and we're getting settled in. I've been making things since I can remember. I was raised by crafters. I love to sew, draw, paint, build, cook, bake (anything with a tangible end result is fair game). In that same spirit, I've been hosting since I was old enough to cook and set a fancy table. I kind of take after my grandmother, who believes that your morning OJ always tastes better out of the good crystal.
