First and foremost, I wanted to mention that my husband’s feedback after he’d read the prior post was that it sounded as if I am currently in the process of making my wedding dress. I’d threw the post together hastily and published a poorly written entry for fear that I would never get around to it later if I didn’t post it then.
To clarify, I am happily married for two months now. We had both the traditional American wedding ceremony and a portion of a traditional Cambodian ceremony.

But back to the ever so brief pictorial sneak peak behind the scenes of the construction of my wedding dress…
Photo #16: This was how I kept the dress sort of hidden from the groom. :-)
It took me about one week to make the entire dress (not counting the construction of the dummy). I wish I had more time to add more elaborate details such as a few gazillion satin covered buttons along the back, some beading on the lace, etc. But I had no time. I had so many other things to do that my sister had to help me with half of the hemming.
Overall, I am very very happy with how it came out. And here are the pictures of me wearing the dress on my wedding day.
