Hi Gail. A member named Kris Atkinson replied to my post (that I only just now realized is int he under 18 section) and said you might be able to help me!
Here's my story. My best friend fo 15+ years is to be my matron of honour in a little over a year. She has had "back problems" since she was born, including scoliosis. As a result she has a protruding left shoulder blade, protruding right hip and a HUGE scar down the middle of her back where they inserted the metal rod. For her wedding she wasn't nervous about walking down the aisle because everyone there knew her and there was only 50 or so people. For my wedding she knows no one except my parents and her parents and there will be closer to 200 at my wedding. She's worried they'll stare and she's worried they won't understand. This girl has been through a lot herself including some near death like experiences. Despite all of this she has been my guardian angel, my best friend and an unofficial sister. She's always been there and I love her for it. As a result, I want her to look STUNNING on my wedding day. I want her to feel so comfortable that her present worries don't ever cross her mind, and find her a dress or do something that she can do again and again and again so she can always feel like that. I'm not sure I have the budget to have a dress made specifically for her. Although I'm trying to find someone.
Anyway, this is where you come in. Kris said that you had pictures and advice on how to cover scars? Could you repost that for me? Do you have any other suggestions. A wedding fashion magazine has given me the advice on finding a dress that would draw away from the parts that she's self concious about, but anything else would be great. And if you know a dressmaker in Western Canada that might be able to help me out, that would be the best!
Thanks.
