My dress is now done, and it’s beautiful! It fits like a dream. It is strapless and has a vintage 1950s look. I used ivory dupioni silk with a dark red sash. The experience of making my dress with my mother is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.
It’s so nice to sit down with a glass of wine and read or talk. That’s something I really enjoy. I’m at a good point right now. Too much more wine, though, and I’d have a problem.
I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, since I used the biggest jug of wine I could find at the supermarket. I added some sliced lemon, orange, starfruit, and plum, as well as some sugar, rum, and brandy. Initial taste tests indicated I’d made a pretty disgusting brew, but a night in the fridge and the addition of a little 7-UP made for a great party drink. Yay!!
