I got married in these shoes (which were purchased for the occasion) and a version of that same Vogue pattern done up in rust dupioni. I lengthened the skirt, removed the straps on the pattern and added a halter-strip thingy. I added a lining with some tule to make it poufy without being itchy and put three covered buttons on my bum to attatch the train, which was my brain child design-wise but ultimately Mom's applique masterpiece. Mom can rock the hand sewing like a needle-wielding ninja. The hat was the result of a last-minute millinery urge that could not be supressed. As if the impending wedding didn't give me enough to do...
