Millions of yards of lace, trim, elastic, sequins and feathery strips
Buckets of beads and buttons that look like cavemen, poisonous frogs, musical notes and Sponge Bob.
Boas
and wings
and flowery things
and sequins and chains to spice up your boring old underwear. Don't even think of shopping there unless you are willing to create something fabulous for pennies on the dollar.
This is what my Mom created for me.

My goodness, your mom did a lovely job with those frou-frou odds and ends
;)
PS. I am clearly not crafty enough to shop there.
I love SAS!
And with a waist like yours, anything would look that fantastic.
DANG!
What a great store, and what wonderful memories start there! You look lovely in your wedding dress, simply lovely!
And what made you think of all that loveliness today, specifically?
Love SAS! We (my mom and I) took Troy and Tressie there once, and we played hide&seek the whole time while my mom looked for things. With all those buckets and tunnels and rolls of faux fur, there are endless hiding places. Unfortunately, I am no longer 5 years old and had to be the responsible big sister.
I would be in heaven in that store!!
However, I am not as talented as your mother who made you an incredible dress - You look so beautiful!
I love how your cute mom fits right under your chin! That's truly a wondrous store. So sad that I don't live there.
Your mum made that gown??? Wow!
You look absolutely beautiful in your wedding dress!
I need butterfly wings. I never knew what I was missing in my life until I saw that box of wings. Now I fear I can't live without them. You don't think it would be too much do you? You know how I hate to call attention to myself.
You're mom is amazing. What a beautiful gown! I have a sewing machine and I did curtains for my dining room and living room that are okay (basically, they don't suck...not too complimentary, eh?). I envy anyone who can create something beautiful with a sewing machine.
(There's an award waiting for you at my blog. :) )
I grew up going to these kinds of places, my mother being a talented seamstress as well.
Is there anything as intoxicating as a building full of things that make other things?! Libraries, maybe... Hmmm. Now I want to make something!!

Wow. Impressive!
Just like a candy store, but less fattening! You captured it perfectly, both in words and photographs. What a beautiful bride!
Phew, good thing you can't see the green sequin bra under your white dress :)
I need the address to that store for the next time we come down......no...really.....
