Look Alike

My Grandma gave me the most thoughtful gift last weekend...

a doll that is wearing an exact replica dress of my wedding dress. The pattern is EXACTLY the same! She even has a tiara and a similar veil!








And you know what's REALLY special? My Grandma MADE my wedding dress when I got married (AND my 6 bridesmaids' dresses AND my flower girl's dress AND my junior bridesmaid's dress). I sketched what I wanted, brought another dress that I had with the pattern I wanted. Then she scanned it into her embroidery machine and changed the color of the thread from black to gold. Finally, she put each embroidered piece on the dress that she had sewn from 2 patterns. Isn't she amazing?
