Great blocks Muse.
GramE you are so tiny did you deliver mail or work in the actual post office.
Sewbiz my oldest dd was like you, she fell in love with a dress in a magazine. Looked for months till she found it. Dress was perfect for her and well worth all her time looking. Dh and I started dating after we chatted at her wedding. Second dd decided to get married and we had 4 weeks to pull it off. Found a salesman's sample dress we could buy right off the rack at a decent price. She wanted a modesty panel inserted in the top. Darn good thing, when the seamstress was going over the dress with us she asked if we wanted the buttons added. Buttons? The sample dress only had every other button. Can only imagine what a disaster that Could have been. She carried 3 beautiful long stemmed roses tied in a ribbon. The simplicity was beautiful.
