I know, I know....it's a mess...and you will never guess why. You will no doubt guess that I have to make a mess by dragging out all the trims, fabrics, threads, etc. etc. to create just about any project. I haven't done this in awhile, and I'm having such fun on this special project. Ready?
It's a 'Wedding Day Dressing Robe'. See I told you it would be a guessing game! Weddings these days have a touch of 'Traditional' mixed in with touches of 'Contemporary'. In the olden days the Bride and Bridesmaids showed up at the church fully decked out and ready to walk down the isle. The only photos of the 'getting dressed' part of the wedding day were for the Wedding Album where the Bride is perfectly dressed and posed.
Today, every aspect of the Wedding Day is celebrated and likely shared on Social Media...including the dressing getting ready room. So it will be for my granddaughters wedding, but rather than 'Dressing Robes' the girls will be decked out in oversized old men shirts. Doesn't that sound comfy and celebratory? Just imagine getting a spa treatment with a makeup artist, a hairdresser, and a nail technician wearing a shirt off a thrift shop XXXL men's rack.
Granddaughter says, "Nana do you think you could fix up the Old Men Shirts?"
My answer, "Really, you want to wear this thrifted $2 Old Man Shirt
while you get ready to put on your $1200 wedding gown?
Of course I can."
PS...Watch for the finished Brides Dressing Shirt!
Wedding Day Dressing today is certainly different than 'Back In The Day'.
