As most know, yesterday was Halloween. Megan was invited to a fancy dress party, so she took herself down to the op-shops in town and had a look around. She came home with a second hand wedding dress in ruffled silk. Kim and I were gob-smacked when she told us the price. She managed to get it for $20 and she paid for it herself!
 | Doesn't she look absolutely stunning. I felt like the father of the bride, however I hope that day is a long way down the track! |
 | Add a simple Venetian ball mask ($3.50) to the outfit, and you have a costume fit for Halloween. Kim wanted to add some make-up so that Megan looked like the girl out of the movie "A Corpse's Bride", but Megan would have none of it. |
Megan had to machine the dress it to get rid of some very puffy sleeves, and to bring the waist in a little, but other than that, she didn't have to alter the dress much at all.
 | The proud Father gets a chance to make-amends from her debutante ball. I was out of action because of my back injury that night. I am so glad I got a second chance for a photo shoot. |
 | ....and there is a kiss from Dad for being so frugal. |
Megan looks beautiful.... and you look like a very proud dad :-)
