So! My trip to San Francisco last weekend was wonderful!
Although I got home on Sunday night and had to be back at the airport Monday
morning to fly to North Carolina for work! Busy Busy!! But we did a great deal of wedding
stuff while I was there, including finding the fabric for my dress!
I had been going back and forth about what color I should
wear. Meghan was completely unconcerned about it; she left it up to me. I did
however, need to coordinate with my husbands USMC dress blues uniform, so that
really left out colors like yellow and light green, etc.
Even though it is a June wedding, I was really feeling red.
I look good in red. I love the color. I bought a new car in red. It’s MY color!
So we headed over to the orgasmic Britex Fabrics on Geary Street early Saturday
morning. We looked at a couple of different fabrics, but when the salesclerk
showed us a fabulous red silk faille, I was in love! It was a lovely red (not
that orange red but a clear, blue red) and was a nice weight with some texture
to it. 100% silk and just fabulous! I was sold! And so was Meghan. It has a
nice weight that should drape wonderfully with the pattern I chose for the dress.
This is not the type of fabric one could get at a Joanne’s or Hancock fabrics.
(And at $95 per yard I can understand why!)

The pictures don’t really do it justice; I blame the
late afternoon sun in my sewing room! The plan is to do all gray accessories,
with gray gloves, shoes and hat (and potentially a purse) to complement it. I
also have been thinking of lining the front skirt drape with a lovely gray to
bring out the gray accessories as well. Will think on that!
So, what do you think? Is it weird that I am wearing red to
my daughter’s wedding. (Not that I care!)
I figure that as long as Meghan is happy, that is all that matters!
Stay tuned for shoes!
Ahhh….Shoes….
