One of these days...

I really should get around to photographing my wedding dress, or at least a close up of a portion of it.

In 2001, while I was an active crocheter (by no means was I at the level I'm at now), I didn't put a lot of thought into my wedding dress etc.  The dress itself was a simple ivory dress with a crochet lace overlay I bought from a Newport News catalog (fairly certain, if my memory serves me correct). It was a dress I had worn to 1-2 parties. 

No fancy clutch handbag for me either. I  happened to have a Windsor blue crocheted zip bag with cute flowers on that, and that is what I carried.

I loved the dress, and being the practical person I am, there was no thinking about getting a new gown for my wedding. This was going to be my second marriage, so my head was not in the clouds. That all aside, I love the dress and it's pretty. And our wedding itself was a casual affair held in a historic old "village green." 

Perhaps I'll post on this more after I photograph the dress.

Perhaps since I am fairly certain I will not have children of my own, perhaps I should think seriously about getting the dress altered (shortened and taken in), so I can wear it and continue to enjoy the dress. 

I've lost about 100 lbs since I wore that dress, it will no doubt hang on me. But I love it to pieces. And perhaps when it's too ratty to wear, I'll cut it down and make a throw pillow for my bed out of it.

Perhaps I've already blogged too much about it and all I'll end up doing is a singular photo dump.

Stay tuned.
