A few weeks ago when I was looking for a wedding outfit, there was nothing in the shops I liked - now this morning going out with my mother I found something suitable in every darn shop I went into - Now that I went and bought fabric and a pattern and am making my own. Got a nice outfit for my mother, a lovely skirt and longline jacket in Lavender blue - it looks lovely on her with a pearl grey blouse, shoes, bag, hat and gloves to match

It's always the way.

I'm sure your outfit will be lovely and nicer than any shop-bought thing.

commiserations spikey sort of things that happen to me, but I am hopeless at sewing so I do admire your spirit, yes it will look even better that a shop bought one I am sure of that.

At least you can be secure in the knowledge that no-one else will be wearing the same dress. Now that's Haute Couture.

Yup I'm a 'lady' and I luv Spikey (my hubby's nick-name )
Had to take the original fabric back a there were 'slubs' in the fabric, too many to cut around, so instead of au de nil, got peach and ivory, looks very similar to Kate's mother's outfit at the royal wedding - I think I said before.
