I looked at myself in the mirror, the long flapper dress falling down my body.

˝I don't like this one!˝ I yelled behind the curtain.

˝Monica, this is the last one of your size. Come out, and let us see.˝ Ada yelled back. I sighed and walked out.
˝You look beautiful, Monica. The dress looks amazing.˝ Ada continued.

˝I feel terrible in it. Like I'm going out.˝ I said, looking back at the mirror.

˝How about we gat a handmade one?˝ Polly added and my eyes sparkled.

˝Oh, that would be amazing! And we could all help her design the dress.˝ Ada said before I could answer Polly.

˝I think that is a great idea as well.˝ I said and smiled.

"Well then, let's go and find a tailor to do some sketches.˝ Polly said, standing up. I went back into the booth and took the dress off and put my own clothes on. The ladies were waiting for me. We said our goodbye to the clerk and walked out into the city.

˝What are you thinking? Maybe a LAVISH ballgown? You would stun all of Birmingham!˝ Ada said excitedly.

˝No actually. I never liked those types of dresses. Too much for my taste.˝ I told her and she pouted. I laughed. I really don't know what I want. I continued.

˝I know someone who'll be able to do something.˝ Polly said and lead us through the city. We reached the Italian side of town and continued forward.

Finally, we stopped in front of a parlour. Polly rang the bell that was in front of the door. A tall man soon opened and he smiled at the sight of Polly.

˝Polly! Welcome! What do you need today?˝ He welcomed Polly with a hug and a bright smile.

˝I need you to design a wedding dress for my nephews fiance. We just couldn't find one in stores, so I thought to come to you.˝ She said with a smile and wink.

˝Of course! Who is this lovely lady?˝ He said and look over us. I waved at him and smiled.
˝You! Oh how lovely! Come here, let me see what we can do!˝ He took my hand and pulled me towards an office.

We all moved to the office filled to the brim with designs and materials. He sat me down into a chair and sat down on the table.

˝So what were you thinking?˝ He asked.

˝Well...˝ I started.

We talked and talked going through a couple of ideas, making different sketches. Each one had something off about it, until, after 6 hours, we found the perfect design.

About two weeks later, Polly and I made our way back to the Italian part of town. We picked up the dress and arranged that he come to the wedding.

1 MONTH LATER

I stood in one of the rooms in the church, putting my dress.

˝All done! Look at yourself, my darling!˝ The tailor finally said and stepped back. I turned around and gawked at what I saw in the mirror.

˝I look... beautiful...˝ I slowly said and smiled. He looked up at me and smiled softly.
˝Thank you!˝I told him. He nodded his head and walked out, leaving me alone. I took the box Polly left for me and opened it. The layered pearl necklace and the matching long earrings glimmered in the light that came through the large, tinted windows.

I put on the second earring just as I heard a knock on the door.

˝Come in!˝ I yelled and Freddie came in.

˝Hey, you ready?˝ He asked and looked at me.

˝Yeah, just a moment.˝ I said and walked towards the bed where my heels were. I put them on and walked towards Freddie.
˝I'm ready now.˝ I said.
