Sewing anyone?

I don't know that I mentioned this, so here it is.  My brother is getting married, Oct. 28th.  I am sewing the flower girl and junior Bridesmaid dresses, all 5 of them. My dress, and a dress for my mom. :oD  I do love to do this, but it can be a little stressful. However I'm delighted to say that 2 dresses are done, except for zippers, which will be added last after all the other dresses are finished (these are the flower girls, 4 of them).

So, that's the dresses I keep talking about.  The final product for the girls is a black velvet top with cap sleeves and a scoop neck,  with a Scottish Tartan (plaid) skirt that is ankle length and full (netting).   Beth's dress (jr. bridesmaid) matches the above but  she has what is called a cow neck on her dress, it droops, and the skirt is straight, not full, and will be slightly longer.  My dress is solid black but the skirt has a black lace w/ sequins overlay, the neckline is crossover straps that tie in back making a knot look in front just above the bustline.  My mom is wearing a blue skirt with black velvet top with a silver paisly print over jacket.   Both mom and I are wearing Tartan sashes pinned to our shoulders and draped over our backs.  I have heels for the ceremony, and black satin slippers for the reception. :o)

I've no clue what the girls are wearing for shoes.. we have to figure that out next.

But the cuteness is just beginning, while I'm not making it, I will say that Drew, as ring bearer is wearing a kilt. Yes, my boy is wearing a skirt. LOL,  so is his Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, and several friends of the family. the entire male section of the wedding party are wearing kilts. :o)    Drew will have black biker shorts on under his (to be safe) and for those who know the song the Scotsman,  a blue ribbon will be attached to the biker shorts at the appropriate location.

And now, I'm off.. to sew of course.
