life moves quickly (except for the slow parts)

Although it doesn’t sound correct, this is in fact my wedding dress. A blurry, purple-ish version of it, anyway. I was working on an assignment for an online photography class and while this didn’t even come close to what I was supposed to be working on, I still liked it.

(My mom made my dress, from Vogue pattern number 1363. It has about 54 miles* of lace hand-stitched onto the chiffon skirt. She would be very disappointed to see this photo, which blurred all her hard work.)

*According to the information on the back of the pattern, the dress required 11 yards ( ! ) of lace, which doesn’t even sound plausible. Maybe I need to take an Actual Photo of the dress instead of this one…

PS: Here’s the pattern. Please note that my dress had neither the cape attachment nor the headscarf atrocity.
