Wedding Dress

On September 3rd my blog featured some Vintage Couture I had recently acquired. If by chance you read it, you may recall the dress I referred to as the "showstopper."

If you didn't, that would be my purple satin wiggle dress that I won on Ebay.

After fairly extensive alterations I had the chance to wear it to my cousin's wedding. I truly loved it! Wearing it made me feel terrific. The fit may not have been as perfect as I would have liked but, it made me really happy. After struggling with my indecision, I decided to share the final product with you.

For the LOVE of vintage couture,
I face my AVERSION for being photographed
and
reluctantly submit the following:

Whew, I did it!
I went outside my comfort zone!
Oprah would be so proud!

    Thanks for all your kind comments. I have been diving deeper into vintage clothes these days. It's a renewed passion as I have run out of space for antiques in my house! A girl's gotta get her vintage fix some how. Check out my new blog about the vintage coats I have been collecting. Thanks for stopping by!
