What to wear for a wedding? - Page 5

Disneyphile · 08-17-2010, 12:42 PM

I still say just wear the dress with a nice wrap.

People are going to remember the wedding as, "Wow. The bride looked so lovely! Such a happy couple" and not "OMG! Did you see the groomsman's wife? A printed sleeveless style under a wrap? What was she thinking?"

Pretty much, unless you come dressed in white or wearing hooker attire, no one is even going to give a rat's ass about what you're wearing.

Seriously. If you like it, wear it.

In fact, wear a rat's ass!

Do you have one? I can give you mine.

When I screwed up the timing on something else I wanted to do today, I decided to hit the mall instead to find either a wrap or another dress. Before I could nail anything down my Theo countdown timer expired and we had to head home.

I think I'll stick to internet shopping.

I think Theo is telling you that you look gorgeous in that dress.

Well, she does...

If I do stick to the dress it was my plan all along to wear a wrap/jacket, but it turned out that the ones I have at home aren't nice enough.

See, that's the complication, because I'll be there with a wedding party person, being seen with them.

hmmmmmm

I guess I don't consider that being a member. I've been a groomsman's date and never dressed as formal as him.

I keep drooling over their stuff, but haven't bought from them yet. However, my friend (PrincessDala on here) raves about them, especially the custom sizing service.

Wear that print dress, CP. It's divine.

Ok....so I did more shopping and the more I wore that dress to try with jackets and wraps the less I liked the dress. The pic doesn't really show it, but the top just isn't made for someone with my bust and it is not flattering at all. I love the print but the shape really isn't for me.

Instead I ended up at Nordstrom Rack and found a more formal look that fit perfectly, flattered me in all the right places, was a good deal AND came with a sleeved shrug. Guess I should get a picture.

BTW, to everyone who thinks that because I'm skinny I can wear anything...my list has been shortened significantly by childbearing.
