I ran my bridal gown to ground last week at a gown outlet near our house. It's a discontinued model (which is why I have no photo to show you), strapless, two sizes too big for me, with absolutely no beading or other embellishment. It's perfect for my nefarious beading plans. I'll take it to the tailor on Wednesday. I plan to ask her to take it in, hem it, and put a corset closure in back rather than the zipper that's there now. That way, if I lose weight or (God forgid) gain, I can just pull the laces tighter or (please, God, no) let them out and the gown will still fit just fine. When she's done I will bring the hapless garment home, get out my beading supplies, swarovski cristals and real pearls and have my way with it. After all that, I wonder if I'll want to donate it to charity as I've planned, heartless tax saver that I am. Maybe a single girlfriend will want it for her own wedding. I'll ask them. If not, I really will need to donate it. We don't have the closet space for a dress I'll never wear again.

In other news, we hired our photographer. I need to fill out the contract and send her a deposit, and then I can check that off the list also.
