Sewaholic,
I have that same pattern, and was about to start cutting when I saw this: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=49706.0

You look great.  You did a great job.

That's beautiful.  I'm sure your sister will love it.
Is that suede at the top?

That's the first patchwork purse I ever liked!!!  You have great skills. 

First, let me say congratulations to you.  I hope you have a happy, long and loving marriage.

Secondly, that dress is just right!!!

All the best to you.
