so what did you think about the dress?
Comments (45)I agree with everything Caroline said. Hopefully this will end the hoochie mama red carpet look (worst) or prom queen (pretty bad) look for brides. When I got married those horrible foo foo mutton legs or whatever the heck you call them were in fashion. Being a size 3 that had to be taken in and 5'1" tall shopping for a dress was a PITA. Went with my DD for her bridesmaids dress fitting recently and 99% of the gowns were strapless with the rest being sleeveless with thin straps. Even the bridesmaids dresses. BTW despite "fashion" I choose a long sleeved high necked dress that actually suited me. Otherwise I would have looked like a lamb being led to slaughter in those awful sleeves of that time....See MoreDo I have the right to say no (Bridesmaid)
Comments (8)I hear you. I've been in similar situations. Although I completely agree that you don't have to go, if you're sure you don't want to, I know what you mean about it being hard to decline without fearing it will make you look stuck-up or judgmental. I'm not sure you can completely make it fine, but you can make it good enough, if you know what I mean. I agree: don't blame it on your husband. At most you can say, "Cuthbert and I have never been to Las Vegas, and we promised to go together the first time," although she might take that as sort of petty (if she even believes it!). I like Talley_sue's idea about money. That's the easiest way in and out of it, unless you think they will offer to treat you. But then you could just say you'd be uncomfortable with that. I think the key is to get past your decision not to come and on to "But you guys have a GREAT time!" as quickly as possible. If you have a suspicion that they are going to feel like you are being stuck-up or judgmental, consider sending flowers or a bottle of champagne to their suite as a surprise. Then you are definitely not being a killjoy....See MoreOT - what colour do you think the dress is?
Comments (9)Martin, just got John to look at the dress pics. for a second opinion and it all got rather technical. He felt the dress (black and blue) can't be 'true' black as black is a non-reflective colour and will always appear 'black' whatever light natural/artificial is used to illuminate it. He also 'saw' the colours as gold and light blue, perhaps less 'muddy' than the ones I see. re the A and B squares. Are our minds conditioned to see them as alternating dark and light, chess board style, therefore we still do? Is, in fact, B a 'dark' square and A light/white, or could it be the other way round? If the cylinder was changed from green to say yellow would that make a difference? The spiral thing is way to far above my head; looks like some psychedelic experience....See MoreNeed help from my virtual bridesmaids, trying to wrap it up!
Comments (46)Love the "hippie headband!" Costs more than my wedding dress! Not to say that is an issue or a bad thing, my wedding dress was dirt cheap! The shoes I am looking at are more than the dress too! The ones I got were very inexpensive, around 30 bucks but that's because they are fabric. The ones I am looking at are leather. I get better wear out of fabric than the fake plastic leather, which I inevitably tear or cut in some way . . . I am hard on shoes, being so outdoorsy....See More- 10 years ago
