I have good news on the wedding dress alterations! I finally bit the bullet and got it out (after finishing my Scrappy Swoon top, the mug rugs for the May MR swap, and another baby quilt top--PROCRASTINATION). I decided to do the alterations at the side seams rather than mess with the zipper, buttons down the back, and button loops. It went really well and I'm almost done! YAY! I will be taking it with me tomorrow when I go to Memphis to see the bride. Once the bodice is assured to fit, I will pin up her hems and begin on Phase 2.... The hems will be nothing compared to the bodice! I am feeling great relief... But still have my formal to work on, too.
