Something Made

I was looking around this Christmas for a satin shawl, and the only white one I found was just a plain piece of satin with a piece of lining on the other side, for $35. Right. Geoff suggested I ask his sister Katie to make me something. Katie is a costume designer, and she made a jacket for our friend Stephanie's wedding which I thought was awesome, so I thought that was a cool idea and I asked her. She sounds like she's going to do it, which is very cool.

other accessories include...
* Veil - I am either going to borrow a family veil, or order one from Ebay something like this
* Hairclip - This is my 'something old' - I'm using a handy circular thing that Dagmar left at my house a long time ago and never reclaimed, it gives hair a nice spread-out shape.
* Earrings - since I don't have holes, I ordered these neat clip-ons
* Necklace - I'm letting Geoff surprise me with this one.
* Longline bra - from the bridal shop. More expensive, but I had to make sure this one fit with the dress.
* Stockings/Lingerie - I found a nice selection of special things here.
* Gloves - If I decide to use these, I will get them from June's, this chain of inexpensive formal wear stores in the valley.
* Handbag - Going to try to borrow this, or something.
* Garter - Geoff actually caught the garter at the last wedding we went to, and he still has it, so we're gonna use that. Does that count as borrowed?
* Shoes - Found some strappy pearly sandals at DSW during end-of-summer clearance.

'Something Blue' is my bouquet, in case anyone is curious.
