The wedding was a ton of fun! We really don’t do that kind of thing very often, so it was a nice change for us. A couple of people commented favorably on my dress and coat. Here are a few photos of the dress as worn by me, rather than just on my dress form. Most of them are in my house before we left, but there are a couple at the event, as well.

Wow! The dress and the dress coat are absolutely gorgeous. I love them both. You must have caused a scene a la Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. Miss you!

You are so elegant in those!
Wow, really stunning, Claudine! The dress is reminiscent of a modern version of a gown from Downton Abbey.
I was thinking Downton Abbey when I was making it. Hopefully, it does not look too costume-y.
Stunning!
Can I add another Wow! Your entire outfit is stunning! Just stunning!
That dress is gorgeous! The crown braid goes very well with the dress.
Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, the dress turned out incredible! As did the coat. Your patience certainly paid off!
A beautiful dress, and so different. You look lovely.
Amazingly gorgeous ensemble!
