My grandmother got to be a mother of the bride exactly once (her mother, by contrast, got to be mother of the bride at least 15 times). This was the dress she made to wear for the ceremony.
I. Love. It. I love the pattern, the simple sheath dress, and that it has a vest and a fun scarf or tie to go with it.
She tucked it away in the cedar chest, probably after wearing it the one time. So it’s in very good condition.
