Just 200 hours and the wedding dress is ready

I was able to estimate how long each process took to make my wedding dress from a sheep (and Angora goat). To break it down…
Shearing Agnes and Timothy - 1 hour
Sorting and scouring the fleeces - 4 hours
Combing and blending the fibers - 24 hours
Spinning the dress and veil thread - 60 hours
Designing and prototyping - 50 hours
Warping the loom - 15 hours
Weaving - 10 hours
Cutting the fabric - 3 hours
Sewing - 15 hours
Crocheting the veil trim - 15 hours
Veil assembly - 4 hours

About 200 hours in total
And to end it all I only spent 4 hours wearing it on our wedding day, but it didn’t matter because I had spent so much longer enjoying the process of making it.
