WordPress is not my friend. I tried to play nice with it, and when Scout’s involved, we get along just fine. But there’s not much between us otherwise. So. I shelled out the dough, and I upgraded my account, and The Seemingly Dis-Organized Elf will be back here by the end of the weekend. You see why I need this project?
Why am I up until the wee hours? Looking for wedding dresses online. Mind you, I have no intentions of wearing white or ivory or any virgin-esque color. I want me a pink, green, or pink and green dress. And I want it to swing up high when my new husband twirls me around the dance floor (he likes my gams, he said so). Most likely I’m going to have it made by Nina, the designer near my sister’s job in TN. I sort of have an idea of what I want, but here’s what I’d like to ask you: do you have any good on-line resources that show pictures of different shaped dresses? I want to be able to show Nina things that are close to what I’d like. Sort of like when I cut out Nicole Kidman’s picture and ask Peter my hot hairdresser to make me look like that. It hasn’t worked yet, but I think it might with the dress. So help a girl out, will you? And I promise, I’ve searched to the best of my 1:15 a.m. abilities. I know the power of google. I want the power of bloggers.
Finally, did you catch Scout’s kudos over at JenLa? Flat Scout and Dye-o-rama both made the list.
When I was looking to have my wedding dress made, I did the old fashioned thang–I went to JoAnn Fabric and leafed through all the pattern books for a while. I feel in love with a Badgley Mischka design and ended up spending a few bucks on the pattern which my dressmaker did an amazing job making. Might be worth some time–you’d be surprised what you might find!
I didn’t even see those other two! I’m a dumbshit!
vogue patterns … they have the most beautiful stuff especially designer gowns. =)
Hi Bev,
When I was on the search for my wedding gown… I wanted a designer gown at a moderate price. I found http://www.netbride.com/ and they were awesome. I ordered a designer dress that retailed for 1300.00 and purchased it brand new at 625.00 or so… If you were to go with them make sure to order it right away and give yourself plenty of time. They ask you for your wedding date and I moved this up by a couple of months to make sure I had plenty of time.
I absoluetely loved my dress! It may not have come from the designer but it was exactly like the one I tried on at the wedding shop.
Oooh, the imagined dress sounds lovely! :0)
I second the motion for Vogue patterns. And I give a big thumbs-up to the pink/green idea!
