Dress?

Holy moly,,, apparently, i do not know how to gracefully add pictures to blogs. Sorry about that! I also did a big no-no, and added pics with no credit. oops.

So, we have contracts in hand, and 99% sure we will be signing.

Next thing, other than general color scheme is the dress. I have been casually looking, have not stepped foot into any bridal stores yet. I think I want to go with lace, or lots of texture without frills or ruffles. Minimal beading. Very simple, classic, nicely shaped...I would argue that bigger ladies, as myself, with the right cut and fit, do not need a poofy, A-Line dress. Maybe after I start trying things on, I will change my mind on that. Probably more of an off-white (out of anybody, i should not be wearing white on my wedding day, hahaha), my skin tone is pale/reddish, and white white will not look good on that.

NO ASSBOWS. #1 characteristic. NO ASSBOWS. I hate them. I also don't dig sleeveless dresses so much, but, that seems to be 90% of current dresses. For a winter wedding, it would be cool to have a long-sleeved dress I think. I could get a bolero, which is probably what I will end up doing. Budget is $1K, roughly. If I can get under that, that would be fantastic. This might mean I will end up at David's, but, who really cares. It would be cool to get something hand-made and tailored to you, but I really do not want to spend that much money on one article of clothing, worn for one day. Here are some dresses I like:

Check out the laser-cut!

This one sorta looks like curtains, but I like the simplicity

A dress at David's that I love -- won't argue, the price has a lot to do with that! The boning on the top looks weird, maybe a tailor could fix it, or its just that model

This company is highly advertised in bridal mags, and they always make me simultaneously gag and laugh. Holy geez, whatta train on that thing!
