I don't know which impresses me most -- the technical expertise, or the kindness in demonstrating it to the rest of us. Thank you, Kenneth!

I, too, made my wedding gown. My father had given me $200 to get married on, and I managed to have some left over to start married life. Oh, for the good ole' days. Made my own cake, coerced my piano teacher into playing for the ceremony and held the reception at my sorority house (dry house). Fitting was no problem -- back then a size 10 fit perfectly. How it all has changed.
