The dress is the most ambitious thing I've ever sewn and it had intimidated me for years - I bought the pattern and fabric back in like 2006 and really wanted the dress, but I was too scared of screwing up to tackle it on my own. My friend Elva came over to help me and patiently told me how to undo the little mistakes I made. It still needs a zipper, but I think this dress looks fantastic!
The cake topper isn't finished either because it needs to be painted, but the shape is good and I'm looking forward to seeing it on top of my beautiful wedding cake and being able to say I did it (again, with much-appreciated help from Elva). I guess I won't know if I like the results until my wedding day, but so far I find the DIY wedding very satisfying. Even if everything isn't perfect on the day, everything has a story and meaning behind it.
