And so it begins...wedding guest dress
Comments (150)Just checking back in here. You've been busy. I love the RL dress on you too. I suspect the other is also really flattering, but that the overexposure of the lighting on the pic and maybe the pic angle makes it not as enticing as the RL. Either one would be perfect. Are you in the mood for silvery/pewter shoes? I just bought these at Dillards (amazing selection I'll add) to wear this weekend as stepmom of Bride. They are comfy enough for me to wear and still act as hostess at this wedding. By J Renee and pretty affordable. I'm a lot taller than you, but have the same figure issues, ie shapely ample tush and bustline. For this "black tie optional" wedding all the bridesmaids will be in long dresses as will I. I ended up buying a dress in the salon the day we went wedding dress shopping, at Sweet Elegance in Atlanta where they were absolutely wonderful. And I went with a mock wrap - silver, beaded. Still haven't decided on jewelry. sigh. Wedding is in three days. (why do they picture a 20-something in a dress meant for MOB?) I made my dresses for my two sons weddings, but making it this time was going to be a logistical nightmare. Have a wonderful time at your barn wedding....See MoreWedding Wear Updates
Comments (22)Maire_cate, I love L&T! My favorite place to shop for special occasion dresses, but there is no location near me. There is one in my hometown. No weddings this summer, but I needed a dress for an awards ceremony at my conference (I became recognized as a Fellow in my professional organization) and dinner. I went to the largest location of local dept store since they have a giant special occasion dress section figuring *something* had to work. I found this Ann Klein dress that is very figure flattering--though I normally have trouble with sheath styles, and I am not at the size I would like to be. I did not feel either overdressed or under-dressed. Plus, It is a knit. Then I went upstairs and tried on some shapewear with it. I felt as good as I could. It was the first dress I tried on out of a whole bunch. Many of the Anne Klein dresses were very flattering. I have a similar-looking vintage cocktail handbag from my mom, and I forgot to pack it.

Comments (81)Thanks, Nini! I like it too.. it just makes me happy. Sorry, Mtn! Missed your recommendation for the blue. I do like them-- but here's the thing, it's not a color i wear much so I won't get much use of them outside the wedding. Also, discovered i wear a 10.5 in the Miller sandal... oops. Ruby, I love the metallic but i think it would need to be silver.. the problem is, I already have dark gray patent leather. I shouldn't get two colors so similar but wow. I think I really like the silver. WDYT?? I think i am down to nude, ivory/white or silver....See MoreWedding Guest dresses (vol. 75, at least) - Update 2.0 (reviews)
Comments (70)@Kswl, your post about button covers is not showing up. However, I was able to read it in my email notification. I hope you didn’t delete it because I thought it was brilliant. I totally fell down a button-cover rabbit hole on Etsy. There are a ton of OTT gaudy ones, but there are also some very subdued mother-of-pearl ones. If the buttons on the dress turn out to be ugly, button covers may be the answer. In my poking around, I found some button covers that I may buy for the groom to wear as cufflinks to the rehearsal dinner. They can be laser engraved with the name or initials of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding. I'm going to have to think about it to make sure it comes off as fun and doesn't fall over into gaudy or gauche....See MoreRelated Professionals
