A Tulle Skirt in the Sun and on the Dance Floor

Remember when I modelled those tulle skirts for Sister Mag a few months ago? Well, while I was home in Maine this summer, I got it in my head that a tulle skirt would be just the thing to wear to my brother-in-law’s wedding last week. Luckily, my mom thought it was a great idea, too, and did all of the heavy lifting on this sewing project! (Thanks, Mom!) I was mostly there for moral support as she wrestled with the geometry involved in this tutorial. Sadly, the Sister Mag patterns weren’t available yet (but they are now!) and I think they would have been simpler to figure out!

That said, if you have a better memory of pi and radius’s than I do, and like my mom does, you’ll be fine! 

I had the genius idea of recommending my friend Julie (yes, that Julie and that Julie) to photograph the wedding, which meant I got the happy surprise of a few of these tulle skirt photos in my inbox last night! 

My tulle skirt was a hit as daytime wedding guest attire, but it was so much fun for me on the dance floor. It spun really well and felt like a party dress. I’m going to have a hard time not wearing one to every wedding! 

But in addition to how fun my party skirt was, I’m also grateful to Julie, yet again, for capturing these moments and memories for me. Michael and I had such fun celebrating his brother’s wedding with lots of family and friends, but we also had so much fun together in the lead up and on the day. There’s no better partner for me in this journey than my tall, dark and handsome man.
