More alterations

Not too long ago we were invited to a wedding. I did not really think about what to wear until the last minute when I discovered that I did not have ANYTHING. I'm sure everybody knows this conundrum: no matter how full your closet is there is not one thing that would work for this specific event.

In desperation I turned to K. and he spoke the magic words - "Let's buy you something."

Now trying to find a dress under pressure is no feat for the fainthearted. Especially when you're on a budget. We tried a discount store and there was exactly one dress that I could see myself wearing. A cotton with flowery print, fully lined and moderately dressy. The only problem was the bubble hem. Now it might look cute on some people but it make me feel like a balloon. So I spend the night before the wedding un-bubbling and resewing the hem. With the help of my seam ripper, Mathilde and Dr. Who (on OETA) I was able to complete my mission!
