Today is short and sweet.
I woke up just after the crack of dawn and sported my:
- Rebecca Page Meghan Wrap Dress (Blog Post Here)
- Tardis (aka Doctor Who) fascinator
- Unicorn mug o'fake tea (coffee).
I dutifully watched the festivities before, during, and briefly after the loving wedding of Price Harry and Meghan Markle.
She won my heart as Rachel Zane in Suits a few years ago, and apparently won the heart of Price Harry around the same time!
The way Harry looks at her is how my Husband looks at me. The soft touches, giggles, hands grazing, and pure admiration for each other made me miss Husband excessively today.
He opted to go on a fishing trip instead of watching the Royal Wedding - I mean, did he NOT get the invitation??
I LOVED the mix of traditional British and funky American during the ceremony - and I'm not even a religious person!
Sure the Preacher's speech was long, but he was captivating and I wish that Love COULD solve all the world's problems.
Let Love Lead the Way.

Rebecca Page Patterns has done it again - another lovely design that's a bit different from the others!
The Meghan Wrap Dress can be as casual or dressy as you like!
The pattern design includes:
- 3 lengths - slim knee length, midi flared length, or maxi super full length
- Crossed bodice
- Sleeveless, Short, 3/4 length, or Long Sleeve Lengths
It comes out and was named for Meghan Markle - the newest member of the Royal Family!
And *I* suggested the name first, so am totally taking credit for that :) I think she's a stunning fashionable woman, and the Meghan Dress reflects her style in every way.
The front facing for lighter fabrics is best completed with interfacing inside the bodice facing, and make sure to measure your torso for the best bodice fit and coverage.
The sleeves aren't too tight, and the skirt bottom is quite flattering in both my mid section and behind, which I was a bit concerned about when choosing the fabric I did (it tends to show lumps and bumps). But the Meghan is flattering on me and the other ladies who tested - we give it a Royal Wave!
I can't wait to hack into this and make a tunic lengthed version!
Sew On!
