Today we got the call that Emme should come for her fitting to make final adjustments on her christening gown. I decided since the gown my sister and I wore would not fit Emme and I wanted to do something with my wedding gown because it was so pretty, I had it turned into a christening gown. A friend of Marianne's had made her wedding dress into a beautiful christening gown for Natalie and I got her name. This woman is absolutely awesome. I took the dress to her and she asked me what I wanted. Amazingly I had no idea so I took a chance and told her to be creative and surprise me. If you know me I hate surprises but since I cannot sew a button I figured a woman who worked in a dry cleaner as a seamstress for over 35 years who loves to make clothes even though she is retired would make me something I liked. And did she ever. Here are some pics of Emme at her fitting. Don't pay attention to the long sleeve shirt she has on, it was really cold. I can't wait to go back and get it when it is finally finished.
