The True Love Wedding Dress

Long ago, a poor servant girl created an exquisite wedding gown for her haughty mistress, who was to marry the man that the girl loved with all her heart. Though tempted to stop the marriage using her secret magical skills, she instead ensured the groom's happiness by enchanting the dress so that whoever possessed it would be blessed with true love.

But the spell went delightfully awry, working its magic for the servant girl instead of her mistress-and then the dress mysteriously vanished. Who knows where or when it may turn up next, for some blushing bride to claim as her very own?

My dress has a rich cream duchesse fabric in the skirt and the pleated basque, while the bodice is made of a metallic cream silk with silver threads. There will be rich backdrapes and lots of bodice decorations... eventually...
