Thursday night I had Richard help me find the tub that my wedding dress is in. Several years ago while we were visiting my Aunt during the summer, we had a sever flood in our master closet. Because we were gone three weeks without knowing of the flood we came back to a pretty huge mold mess. My dress was stored in a tub that had a crack at the bottom. As a result my dress sustained some damage. Because of the mold I was told to get ride of everything in the closet. I decided to cut off the water damaged areas which included my entire train and some of the back of my dress. Long story short when I realized Allison's baptism was getting close, I originally wanted to make her a dress out of my wedding dress but I knew that wasn't possible. I still wanted to make something special and decided to make her a handkerchief out of a portion of my dress. After we pulled out the dress Allison was fascinated and asked to try it on. I was way to big on her but I clipped it up in the back to stay on her. Cooper walked in to the living room and said "Allison you look so beautiful!" I figured once I cut the remaining piece out of the dress she wouldn't be able to try it on again. I decided to do a lil photo shoot of my daughter in my wedding dress. I tried on my dress too and wouldn't you know it fits and its to big! I had to clip it up in order for the straps to stay on, I am probably 10 to 15 pounds lighter. The fabric is cut and Thursday I will start sewing!
