During the first week in September I am going to be going to a wedding - not just any old wedding I may add. My eldest daughter is getting married, and I have been given the honour of giving her away....... Dad's AWOL in Thailand, things haven't been that great between them for years.... long story.
She's not having a traditional UK church wedding and will be getting married, in Turkey, on a boat!
Dress dilemmas have begun in earnest!
What do I wear!?!
I'd ideally like to wear something long, floaty and cool. It also has to be stylish (In a mother of the bride way) but not frumpy and over the top (no OTT hats for this MOTB)
I've been scouring the local shops and internet to find my perfect dress but have so far found nothing..... Dresses I've seen have either been too casual looking, will make me look too old and frumpy or the materials not right and I'd end up a soggy limp mess half way through the ceremony.
In my head I know what I want, so I'm thinking that maybe I'll dust off my old 'unused' skills and make a dress myself - a unique Kari ensemble.
So now all I have to do is hone up on my sewing, dust off the sewing machine and look for a pattern I can adapt and material which will fit the bill.
Sim'ples.....or will it be!?!
Watch this space for tales of pricked fingers and wonky seams.
