Dress round mumble

Alright, I hit up Flossy McGrews (nothing), Regal Vintage (more better but no), Sacks 5th Ave (nothing at all), and Neiman Marcus (where did the pretty go).

Crabby, back to the internets. Please look at the pretty dresses and leave comments.


I found a dress that combines the crumb catcher, metallic, long, and mermaidy. Think all those dresses combined, but without the uncomfortable Asian cultural appropriation feelings. I think I can remove the belty chest thing and make a hat or something.:



This one is also freaking beautiful


And this one... gasp... Are peacocks too trendy?


please forgive me

for my inconsiderate crumb-catcher remark weeks ago.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I should have shown more respect for crumb-catcher culture.

The middle one is my favorite of these three, but I still like the glowy dress.

the bottom one freaking ROCKS.

The middle gown is awesome!

Have you considered a corset dress? Dark Garden makes beautiful wedding dresses with removable corsets that can worn after the wedding.

I vote peacock! I think the colors would look lovely with your hair and skin tone.

I'm not sure anyone likes the crumb catcher but me.

I totally love the glowy dress too. That style just makes me look short though. John said we can make any dress glow!

I bought a Roberto Cavalli corset awhile back. I think that makes 5. Almost too many corsets.

What happened to the ones from the last round? I thought you had good options there.

These are all lovely but none say "wedding" to me, unless I'm very mistaken about the scale of wedding you're planning - it sounded more low-key from what you were talking about?

The peacocks are sure gorge though.

Can you get these pictures printed on a silk slip?
It's really meta.
Photoshop your face in there first tho.

#2 and #3. AWESOME, I say, both of them.

I'd wear #3 myself, to my own wedding. Might would have to wear it with other things for reasons, but hell yes I love #3.

They're all gorgeous, but I almost wish you could get the pattern of 3 on dress styled like 1 or 2, because I'm a sucker for the style of skirts on those. But I do love them all and think the colors would look perfect on you.

You're going to have several costume changes, right, like Anne Hathaway at the Oscars?

why does #1 come in size 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 16? are all the other ones sold out?

#2 looks like the Chrysler building. Does it come with little King Kong and Fay Wray fake tattoos, one for each boob? Oooh, and little planes you could pin to your hair.

#3 yellow tube top seems designed for those with fewer assets...?

I'm still bouncing around ideas.

It's pretty low key but the dress code says "fabulous" and when in my life will I ever get to buy a pretty gown again?

[identity profile] manintheboat.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably.

[identity profile] manintheboat.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
If only I had the budget. I think my costume changes will look something like: morning loafing, afternoon at the courthouse, evening gown.

3 will have to be messed with much less in the event that I drop more weight cycling this summer or go bananas in pre-wedding food.
I was also thinking of extending the gold band down further so it shapes more.

True, true.

I think you need more horizontal stripes.

PEACOCK! Omg. I love it. SO HARD. /fangirlscreaming

[identity profile] gows.livejournal.com 2011-06-18 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
No such thing. :)

[identity profile] gows.livejournal.com 2011-06-18 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not a fan of #1.

#2 is gorgeous with the art deco bust. Love the colors, too.

#3--wow.

Still voting for blond asian girl, tho. ;)
