I still have mine. I have no children of my own so I offered it to my oldest niece for her wedding. She said Yes! so I'm pretty excited. The wedding is in March.
My husband's sister made the dress for me from 2 different patterns because I couldn't find one pattern in the style of dress I wanted. She did an amazing job. I did all the hand beading on the lace appliques and the beads in the roses on the waist and sleeves. The bead work was one thing I did that I really, truly enjoyed doing, but have never had the chance to do again. I'd bead a gown in a heartbeat if one of my nieces wanted it done.
