I had to drive all the way to a godforsaken corner of StripMallLand to meet S., because she needed to approve of the way this Maid o' Honor dress fit. Silly ME for thinking I was capable of figuring: a) how to put on a dress and b) how said dress is supposed to fit.
Thirty minutes and eleven hundred straight pins later, I walked out of the Bridal Shop of Horrors with a $70 abomination called a "Ship Shaper" or "Lady Former" or something to that effect that sque-e-e-e-e-e-zes my ribcage just so and PU----SHES the twins way up and apart.
Lovely special effects, I tell you.
Oh. And S. bought me "Cookies," the only treat a lady should ever partake of, that I stick in my bra just for a little added class.
S. Wedding Countdown: 9 days. Thank baby Jesus.
still a very pretty dress!
ReplyDeleteYou should ask your sister to read this blog entry: http://stellinaevents.blogspot.com/2009/05/drama-bridesmaid-dresses-how-to-make.html
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sensitive topic!
I also really like the dress.
I'm so glad you like the dress! It is definitely tame as far as bridesmaids dresses go...It just doesn't leave a lot of room for creme brulee and cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteThanks E, for the link! I'll let Sissy check it out!
