Dress Shopping, Again/Still

Last week, my cousin TT took me wedding dress shopping. I tried on this dress (among others) and really liked it.



Except for a couple things. It's strapless. I need sleeves. It looked stupid with a shrug. It's too sparkly. I'm fairly ok with the sparkles along the waistline, but they're all down the front and back of the dress too. I am anti-sparkle for my wedding dress (but sparkles on your wedding dress are ok). It has a train. I am way too clumsy for a train.

But, I loved the ivory color. White-white makes me look like death. Not even death warmed over. Just death. And I loved that it made me look skinny (believe me, that takes a pretty spectacular piece of fabric architecture to do that!). And it made me feel like someone who is getting married to a man I love more than anything. Which I am. In the summer. (At least, last time I checked.) It was the only dress in the place that I put on and said "I could see myself wearing something like this."

I think this other one might be an alternative though.  (You'll have to click over to see it because the site won't let me put the picure over here.) I need to go to Utah to try it on...since I want to go to Utah soon anyways. I need to know how many dollars I need to save, after all.

Oh, by the way, the dress I originally bought for my wedding two years ago, my sister A is wearing to her wedding next month. And this dress? Turns out it's too short.

I'm thinking TT is the most amazing cousin you have for clicking on the beautifully modest dress and telling you she liked it. :)
