Chris and Iya's wedding...

yesterday we went to my good friend chris' (or i call him boboy) wedding. i have obviously known about this wedding for a looong time. so being the girl that i am am, my biggest problem with the wedding coming was what to wear. it was the day of the wedding and i still had nothing. the wedding was at 2 in pasadena. so that morning i was out on a mission to find a dress. i actually found one. but i'd also been contemplating making myself a dress. i'd go to joanne's over and over looking at patterns and fabrics...but i couldn't decide on a fabric cause there was too many to choose from or i couldn't decide on a pattern either and plus they cost a lot. so each time i went i'd leave empty handed. i'd try looking online for tutorials too. i just thought it was too hard. but anyways, saturday morning...after i found a dress...i also found material screaming at me to buy. the perfect shade and texture of grey that i had been looking for. and it was only .50 cents a yard. so i bought 2 yards. it was 10am by the time i got home. i had to rush to make this dress. the only dress i knew how to make were the pillowcase dresses that i make taylor. i'd thought about making that before...cause actually i went to the mall and saw many dresses with that similar style...so i attempted to make me one. in less than and hour i was done. i still had to hand wash it and dry it. i am VERY proud of it. it's the 1st thing i've made for myself. it's also the first adult-sized thing i've made.

here it is...
but i wore it with a belt (and black heels)...

and here is why i wanted to wear a grey dress...
to match my hubby of course-haha (cause he sooo loves that-ya right)...

Really cute dress...praise the Lord that it was soo styling and cheap! Ah your sewing career is booming =) And praise the Lord that you were able to spend a day with your lovely hubby without your daughter, even though Taylor is adorable, I think a day of alone time for you and Jino is great. Oh ya our date night has been getting messed up with the Lamaze class so not sure when the next one will be...but can't wait to hang out with you when I'm maternity leave!!!
