Contractor Dad Sews Daughter’s Wedding Dress

October 19, 2011 by SCAJanice

This story is too precious not to share. When Erin Lucien’s daughters were little, he suggested to each that they give him a shot at making their wedding dress when they grow up.  When one of his daughters, Danielle, became engaged, she reminded Dad of his offer from all those years ago. Always a “crazy inventor,” Erin took the challenge. Although he had never sewn before, as a contractor, he knew how to build things and set about taking measurements and making drawings, and learned how to sew from books and online videos, Erin then created several prototypes from sheets and shipped them back and forth to his daughter for review. The finished gown, made of silk charmeuse, was truly made from love from a Dad to his precious little girl.

This really touched my heart!
