Ellie Marie 1950
Formal Gown
This is my first formal gown - my Christmas present this year, to myself. I waited six months for it to arrive, then another two weeks while a lovely lady at a Bridal Shop customized it for me - adding a corset lacing at the back, so if I ever lose the weight I've put on in the past three years, the dress will still fit me. That first time I stood on the raised pedestal to have the hem adjusted, and saw myself in the three sided full length mirror, I started crying. I love my age and who I am. Finally, my outward appearance matches my heart.
