I'm so fucking pumped

My partner hasn't seen it and wants to be surprised at the wedding so I'm not posting it here yet but like. I definitely didn't make it from scratch but I did extensive customization, this is Not the kind of dress you can buy anywhere. I don't mean you can't buy it just anywhere and have to go to a specialty shop, I'm saying this is different from anything on the market. To be fair, most people would see it as too costumey and over the top, it's not like this is something the market is screaming for and can't find, but it's perfect for me. I'm pulling it off. And between the original dress and the materials I ended up using, it cost somewhere between $300-400. Which is a ton of money for a dress but on the low end for a wedding dress, plus I'm having a mini wedding in LA with my immediate family and then a normal wedding a year later in PA with everyone else, and I'm wearing the dress for both events, so I'll at least be able to wear it more than once.

It took a lot of work, but I fucking did it!!!!!!!!!!
