ok, so a bit more on the wedding i attended over the weekend.......the bridesmaids dresses were babyblue satin....short cocktail dresses.............nicely cut..........until you looked again...........and they were made quite shoddily.............gentle readers......satin is a bitch to sew......seams (haute couture means....good seams, by the way....) with satin must be sewn using an extra layer of tissue paper on top to keep the fabric smooth..............and the tissue removed carefully afterwards.............these seems were really gathered, and puckered.........and carelessly iron, if ironed at all..............the group in back of us in the pews....commented to his wife....are those dresses homemade?.................i am sure that they were not homemade.....just poorly made..............oh my...............i will not be going into the bridal business, despite my critique.............yes...i could do it better...but having made 1 bridal gown in addition to my own.......well....i'll not do it again unless a daughter-in-law to be asked me to do so..............then, and only then...will i come out of my self-imposed bridal gown retirement...........
