• In 1969, I too made my own wedding dress (A moment that changed me: I made my own wedding dress – and learned to embrace imperfection, 1 May). This was a simpler task than for your writer – in those days if you bought the fabric and pattern from the department store Copland & Lye in Glasgow, they would measure you and cut out the pattern for you, removing the necessity to, in my case, crawl about the living room floor, struggling with yards of fabric.
