My daughter was here yesterday to work on her wedding skirt. We got a lot done and got it to fit around the top. I think it is still a bit low and once all the tiers are on it might fall off during the ceremony.  She didn't want to mess with it anymore so she said it is fine. I think I am going to take it in another half inch or so. But I'm not going to tell her, so she will think she got fat!!  Dorothy |

Mine was on an exclusion diet for candida the month before the wedding and lost weight - we had straps - she hates topless feels too insecure. Go one Daorthy, squeeze her in there! love and kisses, Jan

Well, if is should fall off during the ceremony, it will certainly be a wedding people will remember....

Hey Dorothy.... Just think, if the dress slips a little bit, you'll have two family heirlooms to pass on...the dress....and the hysterical video of the wedding! Shelly Moon

Maybe you could make a little money by selling it to one of the "home video" shows.

You guys are meaner than I am!! I took it in nearly an inch. If it is still falling off she will have to eat a couple donuts before the ceremony!! One more tier to put on there -- I think it's about seven miles long before gathering. Dorothy |

Well, by wedding time it might do more good to put the donuts in the dress, not the girl.

Nah Laura, She's got a foam rubber thing she refers to as the boob bra in the top. Besides, the way the bottom is going she may have to do without the top.  Dorothy |

My children were not very blessed. I purcased some exexpensive silicone based "ones" for her to use all through high school when wearing her band uniform, evening gowns, etc. We call them the "boobs in a box".

Dorothy....you could treat yourself by going to Hancock. Vogue patterns 75% off and the fabric is up to 40%. Buttons - 60%. I can't wait for you to post a picture! Patty

Yay! Dorothy! we all want to know - did you cinch in the bodice in case of an Unfortunate Wardrobe Malfunction at the Vital Moment?
love and kisses, Jan

Jan -- Top isn't finished yet but I'm not worried. Nothing is going to get in or out of that bra without her aid. Dorothy |

Crowbar? Jemmy? pair of 36" stiltsons? or is that just throwing a wrench in the works?
