The most expensive wedding dress is not always the best

THERE are many myths about women, such as that all of them dream about their wedding dresses when they are little girls. I didn’t, but I did spend an inordinate amount of time sketching wedding dresses. The fancy concoctions and glamorous mermaid tails I drew led to me becoming a fashion designer, but I never had the desire to look, feel, or be treated like a princess.
As my September wedding loomed large over the summer of 2008, I had ambitions to make my own wedding dress, despite not having bought a scrap of fabric nor made a pattern.When I eventually bought the fabric from my silk supplier in Hong Kong, the penny dropped, along with his face, when I told him the wedding was two weeks later.
