Anyhow, the original plan was to wear my dress for Matt's birthday party. We invited a bunch of lovely people and had food and dessert; it was obvious that the thought in the back of everyones' minds was "If only someone were wearing a wedding dress, preferably with a train dragging behind her so we can step on it." Sadly, I didn't change into it. Once you get into a groove at a party (and you have a dog who just wants to be everywhere, attempting to sit on your guests), it's hard to step away and change into a formal gown.
After people went home, I asked Matt to get a picture of me just chilling out post-party, but sadly he was distracted, so there was enough time for me to sit for a while. Sitting became laying down, laying down became full-out sleeping, and Matt was thus able to capture a photo that looks like I'm rehearsing to be Uma Thurman's body double in the wedding shoot-out in Kill Bill.
Thankfully, as I opted to not join the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, I did not have to avenge myself and I woke up and continued with my night.
One of my goals with this project is to bustle my dress. My skirt is not terribly cumbersome, but for ease during the reception, I did have some bustling buttons added by my seamstress. They were so discreetly added that we couldn't actually find the loops and never actually bustle the dress. Now that I have the time, I will focus my team of NASA scientists onto this project. If Curiosity can get to Mars, I can ideally make a skirt look smaller.
To get back on schedule, Week 3 will be coming up soon!
