Wedding Pandora II, any chance of a sneak peek of your dress?

[purrfectpear]

I ran across some old posts discussing your fab custom dress. Have you ever posted pics of the finished project? Any chance of you giving us a peek or do we have to wait till after the wedding? How are you wearing your hair?

I have a bit of a problem in that I can''t put myself into my dress and I don''t have anyone here who can.

My mother has MS and her recent back operation has sparked a massive attack. She can''t walk and is on a huge whack of heroin at the moment as it''s the only drug that is touching the pain. Half the time she''s very awake and normal and the rest she''s off with the fairies. So, I can''t really ask her to negotiate a corset, 50 rouleau-loop buttons and the huge weight of it all.

It is everything I ever dreamed of. My BFF is flying in on Thursday from Italy, so I will ask her to put me in it and take some photographs.

I''m wearing my hair in an updo, with a 1920''s wax orange-blossom tiara and an antique (1880) lace veil pinned in at the back - I''ll take the veil off straight after the ceremony.

Jewellery will be my mikimoto pearls with a 4ct oval sphene pendant attached and sphene stud earrings with pearl drops underneath. The sphene are honey-gold base colour and the pearls on my dress are vintage cultured ones that I bought on ebay to match my mikis.

OOOooo! I love the sound of that! I am excited to see it!

Best wishes to you mom as well....I know others that struggle with MS - its heartbreaking.

Wow, I''m sorry to hear you mum is in so much pain. Of course she isn''t up to getting you into a corset. We''ll just wait with anticipation of the unveiling

Here''s hoping that you mother has some good days soon.

Your poor mom! Many good thoughts her way, Pandora
