THAT WAS HUGE, HUGE, HUGE NEWS!
Especially since he's the first from his generation to get married. Plus his Mom - Ate Lissa - is my Ate.
So, when Ate Lissa asked me what she should wear to the wedding, I knew I had to come up with something uber special.
Ate had a few guidelines:
- The color had to be purple
- She didn't want anything too form fitting
- It was a summer wedding
First, I went to "the stash" to check if I had purple fabric. Thankfully, there were a few yards of embroidered lace which I was supposed to use for Kai's party a few years back. After examining it, and taking the guidelines into consideration, this was the chicken scratch I came up with:
It was a sheath silhouette with a blouson top. The back was fully open to let the air in. The skirt had inserts, and the accent was a thin belt with gemstones.
Ate liked the design, particularly how the top was a blouson-type of top. She said that it will allow her to eat and she won't be conscious about her mid-section. (What mid-section?)
So, it was off to our trusted dressmaker to have the sketch brought to life. And as expected, she did a wonderful job with it.
Ate said that the moment she wore the dress, the make-up artist told her how lovely it was and how she looked in it.
Jen's aunt said that Ate looked like a gorgeous 25-year old.
And that was just one of the many praises that Ate received that evening.
(Then, there's Mom's dress. But that's another story.)
