[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 304635, member: 1991"] G'day for Sunday. TM, I hope you have a creative and relaxing day for Duckie. You and Duckie need to stay home and collage the afternoon away. We've had a full weekend. Today easy child had to leave mid-morning so she could head back to Canberra & sister in law so they could get their weekly shopping done. Meanwhile easy child 2/difficult child 2 was heading back our way with 3rd bridesmaid, who lives in the other direction to easy child and was making a similarly long car journey. Luckily 3rd bridesmaid arrived before easy child left so they got to have their dresses on at the same time so easy child 2/difficult child 2 could check the fit and the hemlines. She's tacked the hemlines so she can adapt them if she needs to. It's difficult, not being able to organise fittings with all the bridesmaids together. The others still haven't met the 4th bridesmaid - she couldn't make it this weekend because she had her baby yesterday. So we practiced with hair and makeup today, but this time with daughter in law and the 3rd bridesmaid. I've been wanting to experiment with makeup for daughter in law. She is ab solutely beautiful but doesn't usually wear makeup, so although she can put on lipstick and not get it wrong, she doesn't get enough practice. easy child 2/difficult child 2 worked on her hair, then on the dress. Making that dress fit has been a huge ordeal - daughter in law is built like a Barbie doll, but on a larger scale. She's not a stick-thin figure, but has a huge bust (natural) and large hips, with what seems an impossibly tiny waist. If not for that tiny waist she could be a plus-size model. She looked so lovely, I made a point of getting her to show her husband (difficult child 1) who could only say, "Wow". They left late afternoon, heading for evening church.
