Who brings their "personal seamstress" to their wedding??? Amanda did !!! Anytime i go to a wedding, i ALWAYS bring an "emergency kit" of needle and thread (...all the colors of the wedding gown, bridesmaids, and mother's dresses) as well as things that might be needed in a wardrobe malfunction!! This gorgeous bride, who is like a daughter to me, accidentally tripped on the table leg when she signed the wedding documents during the ceremony and SPLIT THE GOWN FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CORSET TO THE TOP OF HER SKIRT!!!!!!!!!! GASP!!! TaDa!! Corinne to the rescue!! (she didn't split the lining though!! thank goodness!! ) So when the wedding was over, we slipped into the bathroom where i "sewed her up" and the wedding went on !!! WHEW!!!! Love you beautiful young lady!! See more
