a web based cocktail hour

Gowns

I figured someone had to bring it up eventually, right?

I am wearing this dress.

I wanted something light and informal, but still vaguely bridal. It's silk, so I may cut it to knee-length and dye it after the wedding.

Basically I was tired of trying on dresses, and thought it was pretty and flattering. I guess I'll have to wait until the fitting (3 weeks! 3 weeks to lose 6.5lbs!), and then Im sure everything will be fine. But did anyone else have this experience?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Terri on March 14, 2008 at 9:36am: I didn't have that feeling. I liked the dress, and it stuck in my head more than all the others I saw, so when I tried it on and got a positive reaction that was good for me. It seemed like the kind of dress I would buy, and I'm happy with it, but I never had the weepy hand-waving moment every talks about.

I have seen other dresses since, and though "Oh, maybe I should get a different dress!" but I think that's just because there are so many options out there. I'm trying really hard to just not investigate other choices when I've made a decision on some aspect of the wedding, because there's always going to be something else out there. It can be hard though!; ▶ Reply to This

About two months ago my fiance officially banned me from reading wedding magazines (in jest ofcoure), because everytime I would a new element would get added. He didn't say anything about blogs though - little does he know blogs are more dangerous :); ▶ Reply to This

I got mine on Ebay for a great deal, so hunting around there might be an option; I tried the dress on in the store so I knew what size I needed.; ▶ Reply to This
