Shh - I bought bridal fabric!

With 3 of my friends recently engaged (ok, one isn't "technically" engaged, but that's another story), I find myself reminiscing about wedding planning. I loved planning for my wedding and I especially loved making my dress. And I've been very temped to buy some white satin and go to town again. So, while I was wondering how to spend my $50 gift card and 50% off coupon to Jo-Ann's, I found myself buying 5 yards of white crepe-back satin.

Obviously the next step is to decide what style of dress I'm going to make. I really haven't decided yet but I know that I want to work with the flowy-ness of the satin. The skirt will definitely not be stiff, so it will be more of a sheath style. And since I'm a plus-size gal, I'm going to make sure this is plus-size friendly. There's already enough wedding dresses out there for the tall skinny girls.

Oh, and hubby doesn't know, so don't tell him ;-)
