Hannah's Dress Complete

It has been a labour of love, all those tiny hems on the tiers and the final hand sewing of the lining to the front bodice. The dress has a pleated cumberbund and rose that fastens at the back. I will make these in sky blue satin, using fabric from the bridesmaids' dresses at Hannah's mom's wedding nine years ago. That seems to be a fitting finishing touch to the dress.

    What wonderful symbolism: our wedding is sewn into her First Communion gown. And blue for Our Lady.

    She is going to love this dress. I'll bet she puts the dress on and twirls around in delight.

    What a beautiful dress. And yes, definitely a labor of love.

    A beautiful, beautiful dress and a labour of love from her grandmother.
