"Ok ... its ok," I told myself. "I've serged through entire sleeves before and managed to salvage them. I can fix this."

On saturday I mortally wounded the dress I have been SLAVING over for almost a month. I had been trimming a seam unnecessarily and in my haste cut right through 2 layers of fabric and the chiffon top layer.
...
Cool and collected *cause imma pro *I tried to patch it.
BUT IT TOTALLY LOOKED LIKE CRAP!!!! O_O
The slice was more like a gash and so I knew it wasnt going to be easily repairable... but I had to keep hope alive...
for my cousin...
and for ALLLLL the hours I put into that damn thing.
My mother was going to pay to send the dresses but needed to wait till she got paid so I figured I had some time to fix things.
My cousin called asking about the dress yesterday and I lied saying it was "great" cause I had an appointment today with a great friend/mentor who I thought could fix the problem.
My friend gave some great advice but since there isnt anymore chiffon or silk, all of her ideas revolved around completely altering the design.

Since there's no time anyway (my cousin needed the dress by wed ) Im gonna hafta just come clean to her so she can at least spend this weekend shopping for a dress. I will send her the matching little girls dress and reimburse her the money for the materials as well. *sigh*
