The Dress

I've gone back and forth with various people about the dress. White, while in the theme, is not my thing. I do not like pure white at all. It's bright, you can hardly see detail, and as explained in my first post it is a symbolism for something I shouldn't be feeling on my day.

After going through hundreds upon hundreds of dresses in pure color, or touches of this and that, I decided on a couple of criteria that NEED to be met in order for me to be fully satisfied with the dress. Tony insists that the dress is custom, which would probably be around the same price as the amount of alterations I'll need for it anyway.  I insist on a more modern look, with the body fit around the top, and maybe if I can get away with it, ruffles.

The dress is required to have at least a bow, two tones, and a train. Those three things are what I look forward to the most when it comes to my dress. Every little girl wants the big fairy tale wedding, I just want mine with a bit more of a touch.

The dress that finally managed to do it for me was so simple, it was surprising. There are no frills, hardly any ruffles, but a big red bow around the waist that doesn't over-do the entire red detail. It still manages to remain traditional, satisfy my desire for a big dress, and gives me more ideas than satisfies. This will probably not be my only dress post.
