| WEDDING DRESS I CROCHETED FOR MY DAUGHTER DOLLY |
|
|
| DOLLY & MIKE WERE MARRIED JUNE 29, 1985 |
It took four months of crocheting 8-9 hours a day to make the dress, then it took another
three months to sew on the pearls. The pearls are on the cap sleeves and all along the train. They are put on in groups of
3 for the Trinity and Faith, Hope, & Love.

| I ALSO CROCHETED THE CAKE TOP DECORATION |

| HER SISTER RENAE MADE THE CAKE AND FLOWERS |
Then it took about a year to make all the other trimmings for the wedding. For instance,
I crocheted a replica of the dress for a Barbie Doll and made a white suit and top hat for Ken. They were placed beside the
guest book as you entered 1st Christian Church. I also crocheted a garter for Dolly to throw, and one for her to keep. I crocheted
a choker neckless with hearts & pearls for each of the bridesmaids. Finally, I crocheted 150 little baskets and filled
them with netting and birdseed to give to each guest. It truly was a beautiful wedding!
