Battle of the Royal Wedding Dress

Did we all watch the Royal Wedding? I sure did...so did my aunt. That afternoon, my dear aunt text me this:

Aunt Jackie: Question...is it too late to design my wedding dress like Princess Kate's?
Me: Do you want it exactly like Kate's?
Aunt Jackie: Yes.
    ::Cue beads of sweat running down face and nervous body twitches::
Me: Sure...but we are going to need to go shopping for a corset ASAP.
Aunt Jackie: A what? OH you mean that thing that brides wear that's poofy?
    ::/Facepalm::

TGG!!! (Thank God for Google), because if I was going to pull this off I needed to examine that dress from top to bottom. So after a slight freak out, excessive perspiration, and a "Hell No" look from my mother, I got my shit together and browsed the web for ANY dress pattern that was even remotely similar to Kate's wedding dress. Here is what I found:

I figured if I could find a white corset with a sweetheart neckline, then I could somehow attach the skirt to the corset and then sew on the same lace v-neck and sleeves that Princess Kate had. Eventually, I could figure out the back of the dress...Yes, it is so crazy it just might work! I purchased the pattern from Vogue's website and finally I could feel my heart beat slow down...I got this shit...

Feeling slightly more confident, I text my aunt back. I told her I would need some massive baby-sitting and I could set up a sewing home-base in her basement to allow for the maximum amount of sewing time. Wedding Dress Mission Impossible, My Ass!


Aunt Jackie: Ok...I hope you know I'm only joking about making the royal wedding dress.

Me: No. No, I did not know you were joking.
