Wedding Dress

[2LaneCruzer]

My wife, "Sharn Jean", is a seamstress. I thought you might like to see the wedding dress she just finished.

She does nice work.
Years ago during the time of the CB craze there was a bedridden lady that used the handle Dolly. She would make elaborate doll clothes and dolls that she sold.

This was made for a customer, who is using it at her daughter's wedding.

Your Wife is a talented lady. Very nice work!

Very creative for your wife to see something grown-up size and then make it doll sized. Nicely done!

My MIL, a seamstress also, did similar doll clothes work. She passed in 2006, and I still miss that saint...

She said if Judy and I split up, I could come back home and live with them .

And the dolls and clothes still live on in the hands of 30-something year old granddaughters...

Sharon made my daughter's wedding dress, and has made several others. She is indeed talented. Thank you all.

My grandmother made stuffed animals for me when I was a young fod.

Striped zebra - grey elephant - brown donkey - green frog - black bull.

My favorite - a spotted, firehouse dog - Dalmatian.

They were a true work of art. Wish my mother would have saved some of them.

You're wife is very talented.

Reminds me of my mother who made cakes in her spare time (including wedding cakes). Never a full time job for my mom as she didn't want to do it as a business, but just something she loved to do to make a little extra "fun" money.

Assuming your wife is the same way?

When my father was still living, he told my wife the EXACT same thing...

You assume correctly. She saved us bundles of money when we were first married; made all of our girl's clothes until they became brand conscious. She enjoys it, can make or alter most anything, and has as much business as she wants.

The most favorite birthday cake requested from my mom was a "****** cake". All the guys went ga ga over the breasts with cherry (and stems) as the nipples (the jokes we're never ending).

In my moms defense, she went to church every Sunday and was very religious, but she could have always have a good laugh...

I knew my wife was the one when she went in looking for a wedding dress and the woman asked her when the wedding was. She (my wife) told her in 3 months. The woman was flabbergasted. Wife picked a off the shelf dress for $300 and she looked just as beautiful. Wife sews (she still did our sons stripes on his dress blues which per regulations isn't as easy as it seems), but it's not what she really loves to. What she loves is cooking, and she's great at it. My wife made the comment that a lot of girls / woman don't know how to cook from doing baked goods for the church.

I hope she recorded all her recipes in a cook book; it's a legacy like no other.

She did, for the most part. No cookbook, just index cards help upright in a my mom's "index box" (my dad made sure she got them).

My wife never met my mom, but she did meet my one aunt when my aunt was alive. My wife always made the comment she wished she spent more time with my aunt when she was alive in the kitchen to go over some certain recipes. Reality is we lived 9 hours away and perhaps made it home once a year for Christmas.

I do tell my wife that she is just as good of a cook as my mom was (and it's true, she has me eating foods that my mom could never make me like or I just never liked), but it does irritate her on those few dishes where it's not EXACTLY like my mom made That said, I tell her that she actually makes some dishes better than my mom made.

My dad loved my wife better than me, no doubt my mom would have felt the same.

That said, cooking is becoming a lost art in general.

Very nice, but the bride seems to be rather young, don't you think?

It looks really great! Especially take into account the fact that the work is much smaller than sewing for a person. Such small and meticulous work proves the fact that your wife is a very careful and diligent person. Oh, when I saw this dress, I immediately remembered my recent wedding (by the way, it was already the fourth, lol). I was struggling with choosing a costume for a very long time, until my cousin Philip told me about https://www.gentlemansguru.cоm/product-category/wedding-tuxedos/. Maybe it will be useful to someone.

A bit; I think the groom's name is Jerry Mahoney...
